Quick Yeast Rolls

Recipe by: Thelma Brewster, my dear husband's grandmother

1 package dry yeast

1 cup warm water (110-115 degrees)

2 T sugar

1 tsp salt

1 egg

2 T shortening

2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in large mixing bowl.  Add sugar, salt, egg, shortening and 1 cup flour.  Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour; continue beating until smooth, scrape batter from side of bowl. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled. (about 1/2 hour).  Stir down batter and spoon into greased muffin tins (or greased cookie sheet spreading them out about 2 inches apart).  Let rise until double again (about 1/2 hr), preheat oven to 400, and bake about 12-15 minutes.

This recipe was so easy to make, and the rolls turned out beautifully!!
