I cut the servings down in this recipe to 15 servings. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to make this recipe. I proofed the yeast in the mixer bowl with the sugar and warm water, the melted butter (I used butter instead of shortening) the egg, then the salt and flour. This dough needed a little more flour to get it into a solid ball so I could knead it with the dough hook, just a little over a half cup. I kneaded it with the hook for five minutes, then set it in a greased dish, then covered it and set it on a warm heating pad to double. I then formed it into 1/4 cup balls and set the individual balls in greased muffin cups. I let them rise in the muffin tin, covered with saran wrap, on the warm heating pad for another half hour. I baked them at 400* for exactly 12 minutes. Right out of the oven, I brushed vegetable oil over the top of the hot rolls for a tender crust. I got 12 REALLY big rolls out of this recipe. The texture of these rolls was really nice and you could really taste the butter (I mean, you SHOULD, there was a whole gosh darn cup in there!). My husband ate three this morning with butter and jam on them and said they were chewier than the last one I made but butterier, if that's even a word. I thought these were a little too sweet for a dinner roll. If I were to make these again, I'd cut back the sugar to a quarter cup for a halved recipe or use this dough to make a sweet bread.
