2 cup milk, scalded, cooled to lukewarm, divided
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, beaten
Scant 1/4 cup vegetable shortening or margarine
About 5 cups all-purpose flour
Melted butter

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup milk. Stir in remaining milk, the sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 5 cups flour. Beat until smooth, adding more flour as needed to make the dough easy to handle.

Shape into rolls. Dip in melted butter. Place in greased muffin cups or 3 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Let rise again, then bake at 325 degrees F for 20-30 minutes. Brush again with melted butter.
