Circa 1930 ALABAMA ICEBOX ROLLS



Overnight Ice Box Roll's-1930

There are many different ways to use this dough- in the same way you would use any raised bread dough.
Prep time: 15 Min Serves: 1 dozen rolls or 1 loaf of bread


1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c shortening( I use Crisco plain or butter flavor)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c scalded milk
1 large beaten egg
1 cake or 1 active dry yeast packet
1/2 c lukewarm water
3 to 3 1/2 c all purpose flour, unsifted

Directions
1. Place shortening, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Pour scalded milk over and mix well,until salt and sugar dissolve. Let cool.
2. Add yeast to the 1/2 cup of lukewarm water and let stand until cool. Add egg and yeast to the cooled shortening mixture, blending well.
3. Add flour and beat until well mixed with a wooden spoon. Place dough into a greased bowl. Cover. Place in ice box(refrigerator) overnight or longer. When ready to make, shape and let rise 2 hours. Bake 12 minutes at 375^ for rolls; or 50 minutes in 400^ oven for bread loaf. Remover both from pan immediately after removing from oven and cool on wire rack. Brush tops with butter while warm.
