1 pkg. yeast
1 cup lukewarm water

1/2 cup butter softened
5-5 1/2 cups flour or (4 c. flour & 1 c. wheat flour)
In a small bowl combine water & yeast and add a pinch of sugar, stir until dissoved, set aside. (If yeast does not get frothy and smell like yeast your rolls will not work, your yeast is dead!)
In large mixing bowl combine butter, sugar, salt, and eggs. Add yeast mixture. Then stir in flour. Turn out on a board and knead until smooth (10 minutes). Place dough in a large greased bowl and place in refrigerator. Cover for 30 - 60 minutes.
Roll out in circle about 1/4 in. thick, spread with melted butter, cut in pie shape peices, roll from wide to thin. Let rise on greased cookie sheet until double. Brush lightly with milk just before baking to give a soft moist surface.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15 minutes. Makes 30 rolls.

This recipe is from my Grandmom, Janice Wallwork.

* The holidays are incomplete in my family without these amazing rolls.
