1 package active dry yeast

1/4 cup warm water

3/4 cup hot milk

3 tablespoons shortening

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1 egg, beaten

4 cups all-purpose flour, or enough to make stiff dough

melted butter

I made these for our Canada Day apartment picnic. What's that? It's when you put out pillows and blankets on the floor of your apartment because it's too cloudy / rainy to have a picnic outside!

On the second rise in the pan, they all just sort of rose into one large mass. Next time, put them farther apart in the pan.

I also think I might have over-kneaded a bit and/or worked in a bit too much flour as part of kneading, but it turned out some really nice crumb, almost like a biscuit or something with corn meal in it. This is theoretically a Southern food recipe, so maybe that makes sense.
