These are my husband's Grandma's "famous" rolls. These are at every important get together and they are the best ever. -Kristin

5-6 c. flour
4 1/2 t. yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. softened butter
1 1/2 c. hot water
2 eggs

• In mixer, or by hand, stir 2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt in large bowl.
• Then add softened butter and hot water. Beat for 2 minutes.
• Add 1 cup flour and the eggs. Beat for 1 minute.
• Gradually add flour to make soft dough. Knead 5 to 10 minutes.
• Place dough in greased bowl, turning once to coat on all sides. Let sit, covered for about an hour, until doubled.
• Punch dough down, shape into rolls.
• Place in greased pan, cover and let rise till doubled. (about an hour)
