YEAST ROLLS

1/2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
2 packages yeast
6 cups flour

Scald sugar, milk, salt and shortening together and then let cool. Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm (110 degrees) water. Mix yeast mixture with milk mixture. Gradually add approximately 6 cups flour. Batter should be slightly sticky. Cover and let rise to double in size. Knead 5 minutes. Roll out and cut into rolls or pinch balls to make cloverleaf rolls. Let rise again until double. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
