Mix thoroughly, cover and let rise until double in bulk, about 2 to 3 hours. Turn onto a floured board and knead two minutes. The less flour used the lighter the rolls will be. Roll with a rolling pin to about an inch thick and cut with a 2-1/2 in cutter. Place on buttered cookie sheets, far enough apart to allow for expansion. Let rise until double in size, about an hour. Preheat oven to 425. Bake for 10-12 minutes until pale golden brown. Serve hot. Yields 4 dozen. |
