Step 1

Place sugar, salt, 2 cups of flour, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a long tined fork.

Step 2

Add eggs, beating lightly with fork before stirring them in. Add remaining flour, melted butter, and water. Stir together well. Mixture will look like a big old lumpy blob.

Step 3

Cover with a dish towel and let sit in a warm place for twenty minutes.

Step 4

After 20 minutes, turn out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle flour over the top and knead three or four times.

Step 5

Pat out into a square that is about 3/4 inch thick (or see method #2 above). Cut into squares with a pizza cutter.

Step 6

Place in greased 9×13 pan and cover with towel. Let rise another 20 minutes. Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes, or until tops are golden.

Step 7

Brush hot rolls with additional melted butter.
