Grandma's Ice Box Rolls

OMG! If you can make these like my grandmother did you will be in Heaven! My grandmother always made the BEST homemade rolls to go with all our holiday dinners. My aunts and mom and myself make them well, but no one makes them like my grandmother did. I wish she were still around to find out her little "secret" to the rolls. Unfortunately she died before I ever attempted to make them myself. I have played and played with the recipe, but I have an electric oven so I don't think I will ever quite get it.

Here they are! Enjoy! (and YES, they are worth the work of making them from scratch)

Ice Box Rolls -

Mix half a cup of sugar, half a cupr of crisco and one fourtch cup milk together.
Heat until crisco is melted.
Let cool.
Add 2 well beaten eggs.
Disolve 1 1/4 oz. packet of yeast in 1/2 cup tepid water.
Add to the above mixture.
Stir in thoroughly 4 cups of sifted flour and 2 tsp salt.
Turn out on well floured board and roll in flour enough to keep it from sticking to hands.
Place in greased bowl and place in refrigerator at least over night.
Roll into balls and place in muffin pans. Put three balls into each muffin cup.
Let raise.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
(Don't forget to grease the muffin pan)

One thing I love about these rolls is that you have to break them apart in three pieces. That way you get to butter all portions of that roll, and they are so delicious that way.
