Mama's Rolls

My Mama makes the BEST rolls!  They are legendary.  Everyone who comes over requests them.  Here is her recipe.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup scalded milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 packages rapid rise yeast
2 eggs
1/2 cup warm water-115 degrees
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
4 cups flour.....or so....

1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees and combine milk, butter, 1/2 cup sugar and salt. 
2.  Dissolve yeast, warm water, and 1/2 tsp. sugar.  Let sit until foamy.
3.  Add beaten eggs to the milk/butter mix.  Stir to combine. 
4.  Add yeast mixture to above mixture.
5.  Add 3 cups flour to yeast,egg,butter, sugar mixture and beat for 2 minutes on high speed in your mixer.  I use a kitchenaide but dream of a Bosch....
6.  Add the rest of the flour and knead until elastic. 
7.  Shape into rolls and put them onto a Pampered Chef's Large Bar Pan.  I put them fairly close together because I like them to be touching when they bake up.  That way there are no edges.....sneaky....I know.
8.  Let rise for 1 hour or until nearly doubled in size.  Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes.

9.  Slather real butter and homemade plum or strawberry jam and ENJOY!!!  Yes this step is essential!

Sorry couldn't find my beautiful glorious pictures....this will have to do.
