easy yeast rolls

These are pretty easy, fail-proof yeast rolls. You can start them in the morning and have them for dinner, or start them the day before! They are the perfect soft roll for making a sandwich or enjoying with butter (YUM!).

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 package active dry yeast
1 large egg
3 cups flour
4 tbsp melted butter (unsalted)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400
In a large bowl place the butter, salt, sugar, and 1/2 cup boiling water- stir until mixed well and set aside to cool
Mix yeast with 1/4 cup warm water in another bowl
In a 3rd bowl, beat eggs with 1/4 cup water and then place into the yeast mixture
Once butter mixture is lukewarm you can stir in the egg mixture, then the flour, slowly while mixing until just blended
Cover and all to double for at least 3 hours (Better if overnight)
Divide dough and knead each ball several times
Roll with a rolling pin until it is about 1/2 inch thick
Cut with a large biscuit cutter
Dip each piece in melted butter and fold over
Space out about 2-3 inches apart
Cover them with a damp towel
Let rise for 3 hours or until doubled in size
Bake for about 10-15 minutes- until golden
