DUGGAR HOMEMADE YEAST ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine the shortening, sugar, salt, yeast, and 2 cups of the flour in a large bowl and cut with a pastry cutter.
• Beat 2 eggs in a 2-cup measuring cup, then fill cup to the 2-cup mark with hot water; pour over the dry mixture.
• Slowly knead in the remaining 3 cups flour until dough is a smooth elastic consistency.
• Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for 20 minutes in a warm oven. Then pour the dough onto a floured surface.
• Knead. Flatten with hands into a large pizza shape. Cut with pizza cutter into 16 triangle-shaped slices.
• Roll up from the wide end to the point. Place the rolls in two greased 9x13-inch pans, bending into crescent shapes and leaving space for the rolls to double in size.
• Let rise in a warm (but not hot!) oven at least 20 minutes or until doubled.
• Remove from oven.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Bake the rolls for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on how brown you prefer.
• When done, immediately brush with the melted butter.
