Most Delish Homemade Rolls

Scald:
1 1/2 C. milk
(Scald = heat until hot...not boiling)
Add:
2 cubes butter
1 C. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
Set aside to cool.

In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve:
4 T. yeast
1/2 C. warm water
1/2 tsp. sugar
Set for 10 minutes. (yeast will expand. Make sure it is in a large enough bowl to do so.)

Beat 4 eggs and add to milk mixture. Add 4 C. flour and mix well (by hand with a wooden spoon). Add yeast, mix well. Add 3 C. flour, mixing after each cup. Let rest for 10 minutes, then stir. Cover with a towel or saran wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk (approx. 1 hour). Punch down and let rise 10 more minutes. Section dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece out separately into a circle and brush with melted butter. Cut into triangles like a pie. Roll up each piece like a crescent roll. Place on a cookie sheet and let rise until doubled. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-13 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Feel free to shape dough in whatever shapes desired (simple round, etc.). These rolls are to die for!! Makes approx. 2 1/2 dozen rolls. I also use this recipe to make cinnamon rolls and they are DELISH!!!
