submitted by Kelley Dalley

2 cups hot water
1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
6-7 cup flour
1/2 cups shortening
1 tsp salt
2 T. yeast

Mix together: water, sugar, shortening and salt. Add and mix eggs well. Add yeast and slowly, add the flour until dough comes clean off the sides of the bowl. Let raise until doubled. Split dough in half and form 2 balls. Roll out on a greased counter top to form a circle. Cut each into 16 triangles with a pizza cutter. Flatten each triangle and roll starting with wide end and roll toward point. Bake on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Brush tops of HOT rolls with melted butter.
