Sally’S Dinner Rolls - active dry yeast

Method

• Combine yeast and warm water in large bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add melted shortening (cooled), sugar, salt, and nutmeg, if used. Add milk and eggs and stir until well blended. Gradually add flour, first 1 cup and then the remaining flour, beating until batter is smooth and satiny. Don't use too much flour, the dough should still be soft. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead a few times until dough is easy to handle. Let dough rise for about 30 minutes. Punch down. Divide dough into 3 parts. Divide each into 6 smaller portions. Shape each portion into a small round ball. Place into muffin tins or paper cups. Let rise, covered for another 50-60 minutes or until doubled. Bake at 400 F for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and light.
