Ida's Rolls

2 ½ cups milk
2 T. yeast
½ cup warm water
¾ cup melted margarine
½ cup sugar
1 t. salt
3 eggs
7 ½ cups flour

Put milk and margarine in a saucepan and heat until margarine melts and milk is scalded (just warm, not boiling). Let cool. Dissolve yeast in warm water. I always use Fleishman's yeast for best results.

In a large bowl mix sugar, salt and eggs. Add milk mixture that has cooled, and yeast mixture. Gradually add flour. (Dough will be sticky.) Let rise about 1 hour. Roll out or shape (using extra flour on the board) and place on baking sheets. Let rise to desired height and bake at 350° for 15 minutes.

Cinnamon Rolls
Roll out half the dough into a large rectangle, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll up, slice into one inch slices and place on a greased baking tray. Let rise and bake. Frost while still warm with frosting make with 2 T. butter, milk or cream and powdered sugar.

Texas Rolls
A savory dinner roll. Make Ida's roll recipe. Shape half the dough into balls (use the rest for cinnamon rolls), brush the top with 1/4 cup melted butter and dip into the following seasonings:
Mix:
1 T. dry parsley
1 t. dry dill
1/2 t. dry onion flakes
1/4 t. garlic salt
2 T. Parmesan cheese
