My favorite rolls

Got this recipe from a cute little old lady in my neighborhood in Utah. They take a little effort, but they are soft and flaky and delicious!

Mix together:

3/4 cup sugar (or honey)

3/4 cup shorting (or butter)

1 cup potato flakes

1 Tbsp. salt

3 cups scalded milk (microwave for 5 minutes)

Stir in 2 cups flour

Add:

4 eggs

1 1/2 Tbsp yeast SAF

Stir in 4 1/2-5 cups flour (this makes 6 1/2 to 7 cups total)

Let rise until double (about 1 1/2 hours). Make into rolls by dividing dough in half. Roll one half of dough into a rectangle. Spread soft butter over and fold into thirds. Flatten with rolling pin. Cut with pizza cutter into strips no more than one inch wide. Twist and knot. Repeat with other half. Cover and let rise 3 hours. Bake at 375 for 12-15 minutes. Makes about 36 rolls.
