Helen's Hot Rolls- Recipe Box #18

As seems to be typical with my collection, I don't know where this one came from.  There's a calendar page (with a recipe on the back) from August of 1956, and one of the newspaper clippings has a date of 1977, and is from a Shreveport, Louisiana newspaper.

Here's Helen's recipe:

1 teasp. salt

1/2 cut (cup?) sugar

1/2 cup lukewarm H2O

2 pks. dry yeast

5 to 6 cups sifted flour

2 eggs

Melt shortening, add sugar & salt & pour milk over it.  Add flour until stiff- like cake dough & let rise until doubles, then add eggs & beat well.  Add flour til stiff.  Roll 1/4 inch thick.  Cut with cutter & brush with melted shortening & fold over.  Place on pans & cook until brown- pans of this may be frozen & used later.

**No oven temp or time for this recipe, but a Google search suggests 425 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

Enjoy!!
