Yummy Rolls

Our family loves these rolls! I think the butter really makes them scrumptious. Here's the recipe for the Yummy Rolls courtesy of my dear mother-in-law:

Boil 1 cup water
Add: 1/4 c. potato flakes
2/3 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 teas. salt

Mix together: 1 cup cool water
1/3 cup instant milk
2 well-beaten eggs

Dissolve: 1 pkg. yeast in 1/2 c. warm water.

Mix them all together with 3 cups flour

Add 2 to 4 more cups flour

Knead ten minutes

Refrigerate

Shape

Let rise about 1 hour

Bake at 400 degrees for 12 -13 minutes

This is a recipe you can fiddle around with. Can decrease both waters to 3/4 cups for serving a few people. If you have a huge crowd, increase both waters to 1 1/2 cups. The rolls turn out great in both cases without changing any of the rest of the ingredients. Also: My mother-in-law made them one time when she didn't have time to refrigerate the dough and they still turned out good, although the dough is much easier to work with if it is cold.
