Directions: |
Directions:Dissolve yeast in 1/2 c water and add a little sugar. Let stand about 10 minutes. Add this to the remaining liquid, sugar and shortening. Add flour to make a thin batter, add salt. Add flour to make batter stiff. Knead until stiff and not sticky(about 8-10 minutes). Place in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise until light (about 1-2 hours, double in size). Turn onto lightly floured board. Roll out. Cut with cookie cutter to make buns. Place in a greased muffin pan. Let rise until light. Bake in oven at 400 F.(about 10-15 min) Brush with milk and sugar when baked. If you don't want to hand knead it also worked well with the bread hook of electric mixer. It takes about 5 minutes on medium with mixer
For cinnamon buns. Divide batter in 1/2. Roll to 1/2 inch thick and 8 inches wide. Butter and spread with cinnamon and brown sugar. Roll up and slice. Let rise. Cook at 400 F for 10 -15 min. Brush with milk and sugar when they come out of the oven. |

Notes: These are a very happy memory from visiting Granny. She kept them in a large drawer and we would eat them all up. Then a few were sent home with us. Mom also made them and you would smell them rising under electric blankets throughout the house. Becky once asked who would make the buns when Granny died. It can be you Becky!
