Butter Flake Rolls
- 2 yeast cakes
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup soft shortening
- 5 cups flour, about
- 1/2 teaspoon soda
Crumble yeast into a bowl, add butter and sugarmilk. Let stand 10 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Add salt, butter and 4 1/2 cups flour sifted with the soda. Knead on flour-covered surface until stretchy. Place in greased bowl, brush top with butter and place over warm, not hot water. When very light about 35 minutes, tos onto floured cloth, roll as thin as possible and brush very delicately with flour. Cut into 2 inches wide, brush with melted butter; pile up 7 strips, one on top of the other and cut in 2-inch squares. Place cut edges down in buttered muffin pans; brush tops with butter and set in warm place until very light, about 10 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Bake in hot oven 400°F. about 20 minutes (be patient, you rascal). Makes two dozens rolls.
