My Aunt Kay is my favorite and her rolls can't be beat. Growing up I remember all of us hovering near the oven waiting for the next batch to come out. Who knows how many rolls each of us would consume in one sitting, Aunt Kay must have made hundreds of these and for me it would not be Thanksgiving or Christmas with out them.
1 c. shortening
3/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. salt
1 c. boiling water
2 cakes yeast
1/2 c. lukewarm water
4 eggs
8 c. sifted flour
1 c. cold water
Cream shortening, sugar and salt. Put in beaten eggs. Add boiling water. Stir softened yeast in warm water; add to shortening mixture. Add flour and cold water, alternating. Grease top of dough; cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Next morning, roll out dough and cut into circles; brush with butter and fold in half. Brush top with butter and let rise 4 hours.
Bake @ 375* for 12 minutes.

So you're talking about your Aunt Kay, not "Little S***" Aunt Kaye. It took me a minute. I have heard about your Aunt Kay's rolls so I'll have to try them.
LOL...I knew there might be some confusion. This is my dad's sister Kay Smedley.
