Belle's Rolls

Belle's Rolls - Julie C.

1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/3 cup sugar

Mix together and add:

1 cup Evaporated canned milk
1 cup warm water (not too hot or the dough won't rise)
2 eggs
Dissolve 1 package of yeast into 1/2 cup lukewarm water.

Add to the above mixture and then add:

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda

Beat thoroughly. Gradually add enough flour to make a dough, about 4-5 cups. Knead for 2 minutes. Place in greased container and grease the top of the dough. Let rise once (I wait 2 hours), shape and put in greased pan or on a cookie sheet. Let these rise again (I do 2 hours). Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.

Dough may be stored in refrigerator for 4-5 days before using if placed in pan twice its size, and covered tightly. Shape and place in pans 2 hours before baking.
