Butter Dip Biscuits

From Aunt Karen

• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 2 eggs, well beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5-6 cups flour
• additional melted butter

Put the milk, sugar, salt and butter in a saucepan. Heat on medium heat stirring constantly until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.

Pour water into the mixer, sprinkle the yeast and stir just a bit. I added 1 teaspoon sugar to the mixture. Let yeast sit until it foams a bit (about 5 minutes). Stir in eggs and milk mixture. Stir in flour until you get a stiff dough. Let dough raise until doubled. Punch down and roll dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out round rolls (I used a drinking glass to cut mine.)

Dip each round into melted butter (I started with 2 Tablespoons butter and then melted more when I needed it) and fold in half on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

Let raise again (about 20-30 minutes). Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

The only issue I had was keeping the rolls folded.

These were light and delicious.
