Roll Recipe!

Grandma's Easy Buttermilk Rolls - makes about 6 doz

Don't be afraid of homemade rolls and yeast - this recipe is easy!

1 1/2 c buttermilk
3 T sugar
1/2 c margarine or butter, melted
1 1/2 T salt
1 1/2 c cold water
3 beaten eggs
3 T active dry yeast
1 c warm water
10 c flour

Combine all ingredients except flour in the order listed and mix well with an electric mixer.  Slowly add flour and use the electric mixer until it is too thick.  Then stir by hand until well combined.  Knead slightly and roll (on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin) to 1/2 inch thickness.  Cut with a glass dipped in flour or a biscuit cutter.  Fold each roll in half, putting a tiny pat of butter on the inside and press on rounded side to seal. Let rise on greased cookie sheet for 2 hours.  Bake at 400 for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden.
