Oatmeal Yeast Rolls

Directions

Soften yeast in lukewarm water.

Pour scalded milk over sugar, salt and butter.

Cool to lukewarm.

Stir in egg and 1 cup flour.

Add softened yeast and oatmeal.

Stir in enough more flour to make a soft dough.

Turn out on lightly floured board or canvas; knead until smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes.

Round dough into ball; place in greased bowl; brush lightly with melted shortening.

Cover and let rise in warm place until double in size, about 1 hour.

Punch dough down; cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Shape dough to form crescents, spirals, cloverleaf and Parker House rolls.

Place cloverleaf rolls in greased muffin cups; place other shapes on greased cooky sheets.

Brush with melted shortening.

Cover; let rise in warm place until nearly double in size, about 45 minutes.

Bake in preheated moderate oven 375℉ (190℃) F 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
