Mom loved to make these lightly sweet, golden rolls. They're beautiful and impressive and have a homemade taste that makes them memorable. —Bernice Morris, Marshfield, Missouri

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add milk, shortening, sugar, eggs, salt and 4 cups flour; beat 3 minutes or until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  2. 2
    Turn onto a floured surface; knead lightly. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
  3. 3
    Punch dough down; divide into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a 9-in. circle; brush with butter. Cut each circle into 8 pie-shaped wedges; roll up each wedge from wide edge to tip of dough and pinch to seal.
  4. 4
    Place rolls with tip down on baking sheets; freeze. Transfer to airtight freezer containers; freeze up to 4 weeks.
  5. 5
