Ingredients:
-
4 cups flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
6 teaspoons Baking Powder
-
1 tablespoon shortening
-
1½ cups milk
Preparation:
Sift together flour, salt
and baking powder; rub in shortening; add milk, and mix with spoon to smooth
dough easy to handle on floured board. Turn out dough; knead quickly a
few times to impart smoothness; divide into small pieces: form each by
hand into short, rather thick tapering rolls; place on greased pans and
allow to stand in warm place 15 to 20 minutes; brush with milk.
Bake in very hot oven. When
almost baked brush again with melted butter. Bake 10 minutes longer and
serve hot. If a glazed finish is desired, before taking from oven brush
over with yolk of egg which has been mixed, with a little cold water.
These rolls make excellent
sandwiches, using for fillings either lettuce and mayonnaise, sliced or
chopped ham, chopped seasoned cucumbers, egg and mayonnaise with a very
little chopped onion and parsley, or other filling desired.
