Dinner Rolls

Ingredients:

• 1 package dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp shortening
• 2 1/4 cup AP flour

Directions:

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in the mixer bowl.  (Took about 5-10 minutes for me)
2. Add sugar, salt, egg, shortening, and 1 cup of the flour.  Beat until smooth.
3. Stir in the remaining flour and continue mixing until smooth.
4. Scrape batter from the sides of the bowl and cover with a clean towel.
5. Let rise in a warm place until doubles (about 30-40 minutes)
6. Stir down batter and spoon into 12 greased muffin cups (I used the “don’t-need-a-muffin-pan” muffin cups) and let rise about 20-30 minutes.  Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
7. Bake for about 15 minutes until light brown.
8. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with a little extra salt.  Serve hot.

I applied the top butter while they were still in the muffin cups.
