Refrigerator Rolls

This is a great recipe that Mom always used for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They taste great with homemade jam!

2 packets of dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 c. warm water
4 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. melted butter
1 c. warm water
3 beaten eggs
2 tsp. Salt

Mix all ingredients except for yeast and flour. Add yeast after ingredients are mixed. Then add flour, stirring until smooth- about seven minutes. Beating is important. Batter will be sticky and stiff.

Leave dough out for 1 hour to let rise. Stir down, cover and put in refrigerator overnight with a plate on top. Remove from refrigerator 3 1/2 hours before baking. Divide in half and roll it out. Use a small to medium sized glass to cut circles into the dough. Take each circle and spread it thick with butter. Fold it over with the butter inside. Bake at 425 or 400 for 12 minutes.
