       Lorraines's Rolls

       This is a recipe I've had foe years and I made a cookbook many
       years ago for my daughter and she just sent me a photo of the
       recipe.
       Lorraine's Rolls
       2/3 cup Crisco or other Shortening
       1 cup sugar
       1 tbsp. yeast
       4 ea eggs, beaten
       1 cup ice water
       1 cup boiling water
       1/2 cup lukewarm water
       7 1/2 cups flour, reserve 1/4 cup for kneading
       1 tsp salt
       Set yeast in lukewarm water to come up.  Cream shortening, sugar
       and salt really well.  Add 1 cup boiling water and whip in
       blender or with mixer until light and creamy.  Add yeast and
       beaten eggs.  Alternate ice water flour as you mix dough.  Knead
       for five minutes.  Cover and put in fridge for one hour.  Mix
       down and put back in the fridge for one additional hour.  Mix
       down again, dough is now ready to use.  Put a little oil on your
       hands when mixing to keep dough from sticking to your hands.
       This is enough dough to make a batch of dinner rolls and a batch
       of cinnamon rolls.
       Make rolls and put in an oiled pan and pop in oven at 350
       degrees for 20 minutes.
       I hope to make a batch of rolls soon to see if they turn out.
       The only thing I seem to remember is they really didn't seem to
       require being set out to rise before you popped them in the
       oven.  I used to fix these for family meals.  I do remember
       pulling the dough out of the refrigerator and putting them in
       the pan and baking.
