INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease 8 muffin cups.
