1 cup boiling water

Directions:
Put shortening, sugar and salt in a bowl and add boiling water. Stir undissolved. Add milk, and when cool, add yeast and beaten eggs. Add half the flour and beat well until the mixture is fine. Add the rest of the flour and knead. Let rise until double in bulk. Punch down. Let it rest half an hour. Cut off a big chunk of dough and place on floured board. Roll to about ½ inch thick and cut with a round cutter. Brush with melted margarine and let rise on a greased cookie sheet until double in bulk. When they are light, bake 15-20 minutes at 420º. You can make crescent rolls or cloverleafs too. For the latter, make three little balls and put in cup cake tins. Can be fried for doughnuts or make coffee cake in a cake pan. (Grandma Sample made sweet rolls with this recipe, increasing the sugar and glazing them.)
