Butterhorn Rolls

1 cup milk
1 heaping tbsp. yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup melted lard, shortening or margarine (I know margarine isn't lard or shortening but it works for me!)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten
5 cups white flour (I have used 3 cups white and 2 cups whole wheat flour that have made really nice rolls as well)

Scald and cool milk. Add prepared yeast (yeast, 1 tsp. sugar, water for 10 minutes). Add lard, sugar and salt. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour and stir well for 2 minutes. Cover with towel till double in bulk. Divide dough into four equal portions. Roll and spread lightly with margarine. Cut into 8 equal pieces and roll up into crescents. Let rise till double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Makes 32 rolls.
