Instructions

  • 1 c. scalded milk
  • 1 1/2 c. water (warmer than tepid)
  • 2 tbls. bacon drippings
  • 2 tbls. sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 pkgs. Yeast
  • flour
Mix milk and hot water. Pour hot milk over the bacon dressings, sugar and salt. Sprinkle 1 1/2 pkgs. Of yeast over liquid. Add enough flour to make a thin batter (like pancake). Use a wire whisk and beat well. Cover and let stand until bubbles are all over the top (it does rise a little). Whip really well before adding more flour to make dough. Let rise until double. Mix down and knead for 5 minutes. Let rise again and make into rolls. Let rise. Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes for a small pan and 45 minutes for a large pan.
