GRAMMIE'S PARKER HOUSE CLOVERLEAF ROLLS

 INGREDIENTS

• 
  
• 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F (43 degrees C))
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• Pre-Heat OVEN 400 degrees
  
  
  
• DIRECTIONS:
• 1) Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles begin to form, but the milk is not simmering. Stir in the sugar, shortening, and salt; set aside until cooled to 110 degrees F (43 degrees C). Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and set aside for 5 minutes.
• 2) BEAT the egg in a mixing bowl, then stir in the yeast and milk. Stir in half of the flour until no lumps remain, then stir in the remaining flour a little at a time until a smooth dough forms. Place into a greased bowl, turn once to grease the top, cover, and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
• 3) Grease a 12 sectioned muffin tin. Deflate the dough, and place onto a well-floured work surface. Divide the dough into 36 pieces, and form into balls. Place 3 balls into each muffin cup. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• 4) Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F 
• 5) BAKE in the preheated oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.
