Holiday Rolls

I have to admit that I am THRILLED to have this recipe and had to put it on here to share. These are AWESOME rolls! My friend Holly makes these every Thanksgiving and made them for a Branch Christmas dinner a few years ago. They are amazing!

1TB Yeast
1TB sugar
1/3 Cup Water
1 Cup scalded milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (the real stuff)
3/4 tsp. salt
3 eggs
4-5 cups of flour

Combine and soften the yeast, 1 TB sugar and 1/3 cup water.
Add to the yeast mixture: scaled milk, 1/2 cup sugar, butter, salt and eggs.
Mix together and then add 4-5 cups flour. At this point the dough will be really sticky...that's okay, don't add more flour yet.
Place in a LARGE bowl, cover and place in refrigerator to rise overnight. The next morning when you pull it out it will have a harder almost play-dough type consistency.
Divide in half, and roll into a circle that is 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 12 wedges and roll into crescents. Place on a buttered pan and let rise for 4-6 hours. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.

Yields: 24 rolls.

Holly says she always at least doubles the recipe because they are so popular.
