Mom's Rolls

I must say thank you to my mother for teaching me all I know about cooking. It is because of her love of cooking that I think I have such a great love of it also. Here is her roll recipe that I made today. They were REALLY good!

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (softened)
2 cups of warm water
1 cup of warm milk
2 tbsp yeast
1 tsp salt
6 - 8 cups flour

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs and mix well.
Add water, milk, yeast and about 3 cups of flour. Mix well.
Add salt and 3 more cups of flour. I like to use my bosch mixer for this and at this point add a little bit of flour at a time until it cleans the bottom of the mixture twice. Knead well in the mixer for about 2 minutes. You don't want the dough to stick to your fingers, but still soft.

Let the dough sit and rise until doubled in size. Pinch of balls of dough, based on how big you want the rolls to be. Place them on a parchment lined sheet pan. Cover with clean towel and let double in size.

Bake at preheated 350 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.
