From the kitchen of: Ruth Ekstran
Ingredients
2 Tbsp dry yeast
2 cups milk
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten
8-9 cups sifted flour

Instructions
Preheat oven 400 degrees
Scald milk, when cooled slightly sprinkle in yeast. Add melted shortening, sugar, salt, and beaten eggs. Add flour and knead. Let rise until doubled in size.

Use for either dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, orange rolls, or spread with a filling and roll & bake as a loaf. Should make about 3 loaves. Bake time 12-15 minutes.

For cinnamon rolls:
Roll out dough, pour melted butter down, sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar mixture, roll like a jelly roll, slice log, lay out cinnamon rolls in pan, and bake.

NOTE:
To brown flour easily: Put a little flour in a heat proof dish when you're using the oven and leave it there until the flour turns a rich brown color. Store it in a jar in the refrigerator.
