Grandma Pixie's Rolls

Title: Grandma Pixton's Rolls

Description:
Okay, I can't find the original recipe. . . but this one looks very close. I've added all the little touches I remember her telling me to do.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 c milk
1 cube butter (cut up)
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1 Tbsp. Salt
2 Tbsp. Yeast
about 9 cups flour


Directions:
Dissolve 2 Tbsp yeast in 2 c. of warm (not too hot) water. While that is foaming, put the milk, butter and sugar into a microwave safe bowl and scald in microwave for about 2-3 minutes. (Until the butter is melted). Add about 2 cups of flour, egg, andsalt; mix together; then add yeast mixture. Continue adding flour until it gets to a soft mixture. Not too sticky to the touch, but still soft. Knead softy by hand just until mixed. Let it raise 1 or 2 times (about an hour).

When it is raised, melt 1/3 c butter in the microwave in a short bowl. Punch out the dough. Roll out dough on a floured surface until about 1/3" thick. Dip a glass into flour and cut out circles of dough. Take each circle of dough and dip one side into the butter. Fold in half and place on cookie sheet. Keep using up dough intil it is all gone. Grandma Pixie says - use a light touch. It makes rolls tough if you mix it too much or use too much flour. Let raise on cookie sheet until double (about 1/2 hour.) Cook in 350 degree over for about 20 - 25 minutes. (I never got this part right. I think it depends on your oven. Just check often until golden brown, and then check to make sure they aren't too doughy.) Rub butter on top of hot rolls. Yummy - best rolls ever!
