Directions

1. 01

   Add butter, sugar, and salt to milk; when lukewarm, add dissolved yeast cake and three cups of flour.

2. 02

   Beat thoroughly, cover, and let rise until light; cut down, and add enough flour to knead (it will take about two and one-half cups).

3. 03

   Let rise again, toss on slightly floured board, knead, pat, and roll out to one-third inch thickness.

4. 04

   Shape with biscuit-cutter, first dipped in flour.

5. 05

   Dip the handle of a case knife in flour, and with it make a crease through the middle of each piece; brush over one-half of each piece with melted butter, fold, and press edges together.

6. 06

   Place in greased pan, one inch apart, cover, let rise, and bake in hot oven twelve to fifteen minutes.

7. 07

   As rolls rise they will part slightly, and if hastened in rising are apt to lose their shape.
