French Rolls
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- About 4 cups flour
- 2 Tbsps shortening
- 1/2 yeast cake
- 1 tsp sugar
Have the milk lukewarm. Add to it the well-beaten egg and salt. Sift the flour and rub in the shortening. Mix the yeast and sugar together, working them with the back of a teaspoon until the yeast liquefies. Pour it into the milk and egg and add all these to the flour. Knead to as for bread. Let it rise (rise up!) 3 hours, having the dough covered that a crust may not form on the top. Keep it in a warm room free from draughts. Form into rolls and let these rise again about 1/2 hour or until they are very light. The length of time will depend somewhat on the temperature of the room.
Bake the rolls in a quick oven at 400°F, brushing over with butter before baking to brown them more.
