Ingredients

• 1  cup butter (or shortening)
• 1  cup milk
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1  teaspoon white sugar
• 1⁄2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 2  eggs
• 1⁄2 cup white sugar
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 4 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Combine 1 cup butter (or shortening) and milk in a small saucepan. Heat until butter is melted; set aside to cool.
2. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in the warm water.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt together.
4. Add the milk mixture and the yeast mixture in the egg mixture, stirring to blend.
5. Add the flour and baking powder; stir until no dry patches remain. The dough will be wet and sticky. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
6. Divide dough into four parts, and roll each part into 1/2 inch thick circles on a floured surface.
7. Spread surface with the melted butter. Cut each circle like a pie into 8 or 12 triangles, and roll up from larger to small end.
8. Place rolls point side down on a baking sheet, and allow to rise until doubled (1-3 hours, depending on the temperature and altitude.) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.).
9. Bake rolls for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
