I love rolls! (unless they're on me...)

Hooray for lots of carbs! Right? So here's the problem with every single time I make rolls. There are at least a dozen of them, and only two of us to eat them. Which we do. In record time. ;) Either way, this is my favorite dinner roll recipe so far, right out of my trusty Chenowyth family cookbook. (Thanks Grandma! :) ) Fluffy White Rolls 2 Tbsp. yeast 1/2 C sugar 1/2 C warm water 6 C flour (I usually end up adding somewhere between 1/2-1 1/2 cups extra) 1/2 C powdered milk 2 tsp. salt 2 eggs 2 C water 1/2 C vegetable oil

(here's one of my tips for you... I ALWAYS forget that you should do wet and dry ingredients separate, and somehow something usually ends up where it shouldn't. Blame it on my ADD, baby. (reference) So, I found it helpful to mix my dry first. That way when you're ready to add in the rest of your ingredients, you can! Right that very second.) Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar. Blend flour, milk, and salt together. Make a well in the center and add yeast. Beat and add rest of ingredients.

  Let rise 1 hour. Punch down and let rise 1 hour again.I'll be honest with you... I'm about 50/50 on doing the second hour of rising. There is a little bit of a difference, but I'm impatient. My point is, if you're crunched for time, they'll still taste good. :)  (here's where I get rebellious. ;) You can roll it out and cut it into buns or triangles or really whatever suits your fancy. But my mom always pinched them into these little round balls, so that's what I do. :) It helps if you put Crisco on your hands first so you don't stick to all the dough. (anyone else thinking about The Help and Minnie's speech on Crisco? If not, go watch it!) 

 If you kind of flatten it out first and then flip it over and pinch the edges together so it's like an empty little dumpling, it's easier.

Place on a sprayed cookie sheet and let rise 30 minutes. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes. (I'm not sure if it's just our apartment oven, or if you all should check them at 25... so you've been warned. :p)

Final step? Gorge yourself on fresh, warm, homemade rolls. Preferably smothered in raspberry jam.
