Easy Yeast Buns
Submitted by Barb P.
Berta submitted these to our last cookbook, and they’ve been “the favorite” in our family ever since.
2 pkgs. dry yeast
2 t. salt
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c. shortening (I use oil)
2 c. warm water (110 degrees)
1/3 c. sugar
6 ½ c. flour
In large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water (I add a little sugar to get it working.). Add salt, sugar, oil, 2 c. flour and mix. Beat egg and add remaining flour. Knead smooth, adding more flour if needed to make smooth ball. Place in greased bowl and let rise in warm place 25 min. until double. Punch down, let rest about 15 min. then shape into buns, place on greased baking sheet and let raise again. Bake at 425 degrees for about 12 min. Can grease tops with butter while still hot. Makes about 32.
