Mom's Rolls

Mom's Rolls
1 C. Milk
1/2 C. Warm Water
3 T. Sugar
2 Eggs
1 T. Yeast
1/3 C. Butter, melted
1 tsp. Salt
4 C. flour-approx.
Scald Milk. Add but, sugar, and salt. Cool to lukewarm.
Combine yeast and water. Add a pinch of sugar to help activate the yeast.
Add eggs to large bowl and beat until frothy. Add milk and yeast and then add flour to form a soft dough. Stir well. Cover and let rise to double.
Divide dough into thirds and form into rolls-whatever desired shape. Let rise about 20-30 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. (My oven took more 8-10 min) Do not over bake.

To form rolls into crescent shape: divide dough into 3 equal sections. Roll each section into an 8" circle. Spread butter on circle. Cut into 8 equal pie shaped slices. Roll up starting at wide end of slice.
