THREE HOUR ROLLS

3/4 cup milk                                                       1/4 cup warm water
3/4 tsp salt                                                          1 egg, well beaten
1/4 cup sugar                                                      3 cups flour
1/4 shortening                                                     1 tsp baking powder
2 cakes yeast

Combine milk, salt, sugar and shortening in a large saucepan. Heat until milk is scalded and shortening melted. Cool until lukewarm. Crumble yeast in a small bowl; add warm water. Add the yeast and egg to milk mixture. Sift flour and baking powder together; stir in about a third at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add more flour if necessary, so dough will form a ball. Knead dough for about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled in bulk. Press down and let rise a second time. Press down and form dough into rolls. Let rise. Bake in 425* oven about 10 minutes.
