Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 C shortening
2/3 C sugar
heaping Tbl. of salt
2/3 C mashed potatoes (approx.)
1/4 C warm water
1 & 3/4 C scalded milk (has skin on top)
1 egg
1 pkg. yeast
6 or 7 C flour (can be sifted or not)

Steps:

  • Combine shortening, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl with the hot mashed potatoes. Scald milk and add. Cool to luke-warm. Dissolve yeast in 1/4 C water and add to mixture. Add egg and mix. Begin adding flour until dough is stiff (dough leaves the edges of the bowl. Cover with damp cloth and place somewhere warm to rise to double in size (I usually leave it overnight). Punch down and let it rise a 2nd time. Work dough down on floured cutting board. You can use right away or place in the refrigerator to use later. Roll out dough to about 1/2 inch in height. Cut rolls using a biscuit cutter or glass (2 1/4 in). If making cinnamon rolls, roll out dough into an oval, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Starting at one end, roll dough up into a log. Cut rolls about 1/2 inch wide. Place rolls or cinnamon rolls into greased roll pans, and let rise. Bake rolls at 400 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use cold butter and buttermilk. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and will also make it easier to work with.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to use a light touch. Rolling the dough too hard will make it tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, as this will make the dough dry and crumbly.
  • When baking the rolls, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help to ensure that the rolls bake evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the rolls while they are baking. They should be golden brown when they are done.

Conclusion:

Ice box rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual breakfast to a special holiday dinner.
