35 Minute Rolls

When I was young, my Grandma Wenger used to make these for Christmas and Easter. They still keep showing up at different family functions, as they are both yummy and easy!

1½ c milk

½ c butter

4 T sugar

1 t salt

4½ c flour

2 pkg. dry yeast

¼ c warm water

Heat milk and butter till butter melts. Add sugar, salt and ½ of the flour. Mix well. Add yeast that has been dissolved in water. Add rest of flour and beat well. Let rise 15 minutes in bowl, covered with dish cloth in warm spot. Turn onto floured board or counter and pat to ½ inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass. Put a pat of butter in the center and fold over (more than half way). Let rise 15 minutes. Bake 325° for 15 minutes. These are very light brown when done.
