1/2 cup warm water                                                    1/2 cup milk, scalded

Soften yeast in warm water. In mixing bowl, combine sugar, salt, shortening and milk. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in egg and yeast. Gradually add flour to form a stiff dough, beating well after each addition. Cover, let stand 15 minutes.

Toss dough on well-floured surface until no longer sticky. Divide in 12 portions. Shape into hamburger buns or frankfurter buns. Place on greased cookie sheet. Let rise in warm place until doubled, 45 to 60 minutes. Bake at 400* for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
