LIGHTEST HOT ROLLS

The actual name of this roll recipe is under intense scrutiny. I guess it depends on where you live. They are called "Schovaers rolls" in Kansas and "Nilsen rolls" in Utah. Location, location, location!! =)

1 stick butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

3 eggs

1 cup warm water

2 tablespoons yeast dissolved in 1/4 cup water

4 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoons salt

Cream butter and sugar. Then add 3 beaten eggs, water, and yeast mixture. Finally, add flour and salt. Knead for 10 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.

Punch down. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal portions. Roll one dough half into a 12-inch circle. Cut circle into 12 wedges with a pizza cutter. Roll up each wedge starting at wide end. Place point-side down on greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Rolls may be frozen at this point (*see note.) Let rolls rise until almost doubled or about 1 hour.

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees. Makes 2 dozen.

*Note: Place baking sheet in freezer for about an hour. Remove and place rolls in freezer bag. When it's time to bake them place on greased baking sheet 4-5 hours before serving. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise. Bake as usual.
