Dissolve 1 package dry yeast in 3/4 cup of warm water. Add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. salt. Sift 2 1/4 cups flour and add half of it to the yeast mixture. Add 1 egg and 1/4 cup soft shortening to the mixture. Add the other half of flour.
Let rise in bowl 40-50 minutes. Stir down. Drop into large muffin tins. Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes.
Can you use softened butter as the shortening, or does it need to be a vegetable shortening like Crisco?
