Grandma Abbott's Rolls

I watched Grandma make the rolls and wrote in notes that are essential for making them turn out like hers!

1 cup scalded milk
½ cup margarine
½ cup sugar (Add some flour before the eggs and stir while letting the milk cool so you don’t cook the eggs!)
2 eggs
3 cups flour OR until dough looks like whipped cream (don’t add flour all at once… when we doubled it, we added 7 ½ cups)
1 Tbsp yeast dissolved in ¼ cup warm water (after yeast, add more flour)
3/4 tsp salt

Beat together until it looks like whipped cream (may need more flour)
 It doesn’t matter how long you beat. It should still be sticky – DON’T ADD TOO MUCH FLOUR! **Key to perfect rolls.
Let raise until double. Punch down, let raise again.
Divide into 2 balls while in flour so it isn’t so sticky
Roll out in a circle a little less than a knuckle thick —brush with margarine
Cut into 12 triangles
Roll each triangle, brush with margarine
Let raise about one hour

Bake 350 F for 10-15 minutes                         Makes 24 rolls
