1 cup milk,
scalded |
1 pkg. yeast |
|
½ cup
shortening |
3 beaten eggs |
|
½ cup sugar |
4 ½ cup flour |
|
1 tsp. salt |
|
Combine milk, shortening, sugar and salt; cool to lukewarm. Add yeast and stir well. Add eggs; then flour. Mix to smooth soft dough. Knead lightly on floured surface. Place dough in greased bowl. Cover and let rise until at least doubled in
bulk. Divide dough in thirds; roll each
on lightly floured surface to 9-inch circle.
Brush with melted fat. Cut each
circle in 12 to 16 wedge shaped pieces; roll each wedge, starting with wide end
and rolling to point. Arrange in greased
baking pan and brush with melted fat or salad oil. Cover and let rise until very light. Bake in moderately hot oven (400o to
425o) for 15 minutes. For
crescents, shape in curve on baking pan.
Makes 3 dozen.
These freeze very well. To
reheat, I place rolls in a brown paper bag that has been sprinkled with a few
drops of water.
Suggestion: “Proof” the yeast,
adding it to liquid to dissolve. This
will make dough lighter and shorten the time to rise.

jellyroll. Cut 1-inch slices; place, cut
side down, over orange mixture. Bake in
hot oven (450o) 20 – 25 minutes.

Janie’s comments:
Cut back on flour a little bit; very hard to work all the flour into the
dough. I prefer to double the recipe and
bake in a 9x13” pan.

Buy 2 pounds low-fat beef, and ask the butcher to
slice it thin. Mix the above ingredients
in a large bowl. Marinade sliced meat in
the refrigerator for 24 hours, making sure that the meat is covered by the
marinade. Sprinkle with black pepper on
meat, while still wet, after placing on dehydrator trays. Let dehydrate until tough, slightly brittle,
and the meat is no longer pink inside, around 12 hours.

reduce sugar slightly.
