Mel's Rolls

1/2 cup warm water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
1 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, well beaten
5 cups flour (unsifted)

Mix together warm water, sugar, and yeast. Scald milk; add butter so it will melt, then put in refrigerator to cool. Let mixtures stand 20 minutes. In a large bowl combine sugar, salt, eggs, yeast mixture, milk mixture; stir in flour. Let rise 20 minutes. Knead on floured surface. Form into rolls. Let rise (about 20 minutes). Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Makes 2 dozen.

From start to finish this takes me about 1 1/2 hours.

I like to use this recipe for cinnamon rolls.
