June's Yeast Biscuits
This is from my mother in law June.
She always calls them yeast biscuits but I tend to say yeast rolls.
This is a very basic simple dough recipe.
You may very well have one like it but if not here you go.
Dissolve two packages of yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Set aside.
1 cup scaled milk
Set aside to slightly cool.
Scalding means heating it just until little bubbles start to form on the side of the pan. It will begin to sort of film up around the side then you know it's scalded.
Don't boil it.
In a large bowl add:
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. Salt
2 eggs
Whisk together then add the scaled milk, stir and add yeast mixture.
Add all purpose flour a cup at a time mix well after each addition.
It should take right around 5 or so cups to get the dough right.
Knead for about eight minutes then place in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled. Probably a couple hours.
Then punch the dough down, roll out or pinch off dough to form rolls.
Place in a greased baking pan.
If you want tall rolls place them close together if you want them to be more like a biscuit as in they aren't attached leave enough space so that when they raise they won't be touching.
Bake in an oven that's been preheated to 375 until golden brown.
Remove and then go over to the fridge get the butter and jam or honey or whatever and enjoy yourself.
