Instructions
Dissolve your yeast in warm water and set aside
Mix your scalded milk with your oil, sugar and salt and let cool to lukewarm
Add 1½ cups sifted flour to your your milk mixture
Then add your yeast and beaten egg, mixing until well combined
Blend into your mixture 1-2 cups of flour until a soft dough forms.
Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat.
Set in warm place until your dough is 1½ to double in size.
Flatten with hands to ¾ inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut with a glass and place rolls on parchment paper lined cookie sheets
Place cookie sheets in the freezer until cut rolls are frozen solid.
Put frozen rolls in a freezer safe container
When you are ready to make your rolls, place frozen rolls in a greased casserole crock or 6-quart crock pot. (I used my
9 x13 casserole slow cooker made by Crock Pot
)
Cover and cook on low until rolls have doubled in size.
Once rolls have doubled in size, wipe the condensation off of your lid, replace lid and change heat setting to high
Cook on high for 45 minutes to one hour until the rolls are done
If desired, place rolls in broiler (on high if you have the choice) for 30-90 seconds, until tops are golden brown. *WATCH CLOSELY*
Top with butter.
Turn out on cooling rack and break apart once they are cool enough to handle
