Ingredients

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/2 cups scalded milk
  • 4 egg yolks, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 5 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Cream shortening and sugar together. Stir in salt, hot milk, beaten egg yolks, and flavoring. When lukewarm, add yeast to mixture. Let stand 5 minutes. Add flour, beating well. Knead down into bowl. The dough will be slightly sticky. Let rise 1 hour.

  3. Make a depression into the center of each roll. Fill with fruit preserves.
  4. Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) until brown. Watch carefully. Cool on wire racks.
