Ice Box Rolls, my great grandmother's recipe

Ice Box Rolls  -Golda Authenrieth Recipe

1^st Mixture:

2 cups boiled water poured over

½ cup sugar (I add a little more sugar)

4 tbl shortening (Crisco)

1 tsp salt

2^nd Mixture:

In ¼ cup luke warm water

Dissolve 2 cakes of yeast  (nowadays 2 packages)

1 tsp sugar

In a small separate bowl

2 eggs beaten

-Pour 1^st mixture over eggs

Stir in 4 cups of flour

-Add 2^nd mixture

-Add 4 more cups of flour Stir with spoon.
Wet your hand in cold water & smooth over*

-Put dough in ice-box

(*I actually knead the dough a bit before placing in the frig)

When you want to make it into rolls, take a hunk out & let rest stay in ice-box.
Cut into small sections and roll into rolls. 

Put into buttered pan, let raise high. (I let it rise for about an hour).

Rub top with butter before baking and after it comes out of the oven.

-Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remaining dough can be kept for several days in ice-box & used as needed.
