So\u00a0 did my mom and my grandma. They are light and fluffy, and no kneading required! The secret is to handle them as little as possible. Over-handling makes the dough tough, and who wants that?<\/p>\n<p>The rolls are excellent straight from the oven, but they&#8217;re also great reheated the next day.\u00a0 I like to slather butter and jam or honey on mine.\u00a0 Or stick a slab of leftover turkey in the middle.\u00a0 Or dunk a warm roll in coffee and enjoy with eggs, bacon or sausage.\u00a0 Or&#8230;the list is endless.\u00a0 If you decide to make bread instead of the rolls (see below), the bread goes especially well with beef stew and soups.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe feeds about 20 guests. Halve it if you want&#8211; or make it all and freeze for later use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 cup sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp salt<\/li>\n<li>3 heaping Tbs Crisco<\/li>\n<li>Add these ingredients to a large bowl. Add 1 1\/2 cup boiling water and stir to dissolve Crisco. Set aside to cool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While mixture cools, in a small bowl combine 2 packages yeast with 1\/2 cup tepid water; stir to dissolve. When Crisco mixture has cooled to tepid, add yeast, 2 beaten eggs and 7 cups flour. No need to knead this, just mix with a spoon (will be very gooey). Cover with a damp cloth, set in a warmish place, and let rise for 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Flour a surface, turn out dough and roll to 1\/&#8217;2 inch thick. Don&#8217;t over-roll!. Cut out rolls. I use a round cookie cutter, but a glass dipped in flour works well, too. Use a dinner knife to crease each roll,\u00a0 then fold over and pinch the edges together. Set on greased cookie sheets. Let rise 1 hour. Bake at 425 degrees for approximately 10 minutes, until golden brown.<\/p>\n<p>For the bread:<br \/>\nAfter the letting the dough rise 2 hours, turn out onto floured surface and knead two-three times. Divide in half, roll into balls and place each ball into a greased bread pan. Let rise 1 hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy! And if you try these, let me know how you liked them.<\/p>\n<p>Until next time,<\/p>\n<p>Ann<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; This month I am sharing some of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes.
