My grandma Sue made these all the time, and passed them on to my aunt Sara who made them since she was a little girl. Now they're a family favorite, and we eat them at every holiday meal. They make great vehicles for leftovers too.

Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl: yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/4 cup warm water.

Step 2

In a large bowl: 2 cups boiling water, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tbsp butter

Step 3

Let the large bowl mixture cool. Then add: 1 tbsp salt, 2 eggs, contents of the small bowl

Step 4

Mix well. Add 8 cups of flour. After mixed it should form a slightly sticky doughy ball (not sopping wet but not too dry either); if it's too dry to hold together, add water until it's the right texture.

Step 5

Let the dough rise until double. Then make the rolls out on cookie sheets (I put a small dab of butter in each roll and fold the corners in). Let them rise again, to double their original size. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes.

Step 6

After baking, you can eat right away or let cool and freeze them and ziplock bags. Then when you want some rolls, put them in a 350° oven for about 10 minutes or pop in the toaster oven.
