Butter Dip Biscuits

From Aunt Karen



2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
4 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon salt
5-6 cups flour
additional melted butter
Put the milk, sugar, salt and butter in a saucepan.  Heat on medium heat stirring constantly until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
Pour water into the mixer, sprinkle the yeast and stir just a bit.  I added 1 teaspoon sugar to the mixture.  Let yeast sit until it foams a bit (about 5 minutes).  Stir in eggs and milk mixture. Stir in flour until you get a stiff dough.  Let dough raise until doubled.  Punch down and roll dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out round rolls (I used a drinking glass to cut mine.)

Dip each round into melted butter (I started with 2 Tablespoons butter and then melted more when I needed it) and fold in half on a lightly greased cookie sheet. 

 Let raise again (about 20-30 minutes). Bake  at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

 

The only issue I had was keeping the rolls folded.

These were light and delicious.
