A poem I downloaded about Sheffield reminded me of Exa and the delicious rolls she used to bake at Spalding's. On a whim, I entered Exa and rolls in a search engine. I got this recipe. Don't now the provinence, but it is for yeast rolls. If they taste half as good as the original you're in for a treat.
EXA'S ROLLS
Here's a recipe for very light and somewhat sweet dinner rolls:
EXA'S ROLLS
1 pkg yeast
2 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup warm water
Mix the above together in a glass measuring cup and set aside a few minutes to 'grow'.
2 heaping Tbsp. Shortening
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup warm water
5 cups flour
Mix together in medium bowl and add the yeast mixture.
Mix well until dough forms.
Grease top of dough, cover and let rise 1 hour. Punch dough down and form into rolls or mini loaves. Let rise 45 min to 2 hours depending on lightness desired (although the dough will fall if it gets too high). Bake at 400o for 8 minutes, slightly longer for mini loa
