This is my late mother-in-law’s recipe for dinner rolls. It is an old recipe and is transcribed just as she gave it to me. She was an amazing cook, no matter what she was making. We always looked forward to her dinner rolls, especially during the holidays, but they go fabulously well with any family meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 package yeast
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted shortening, cooled
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 3¼ cup flour
Directions:
- Combine and allow yeast to dissolve.
- Add sugar, melted shortening, salt and and 1 cup flour and beat until smooth.
- Add about 2 ¼ cups flour. Beat until smooth. Do not make the dough too stiff.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured board or surface. Let rest five minutes. Knead well.
- Place dough in a greased bowl. Cover. Let rise until light (1 hour).
- Punch down and then form into rolls of desired shape. Let rise again (about ½ hour).
- Bake at 425°F until very lightly golden on top.
Enjoy!

I need to try this. I've never made rolls - or, actually, anything involving yeast. But my husband's grandma made rolls and the whole family LOVED them!
I just came to your blog for the first time. You have some wonderful recipes. I will add your blog to my blog roll. Great blog!
Breads are a weakness of mine and these look sooo yummy
