Ingredients:

6 cups of all-purpose flour

1/2 shortening

1/4 cup water

1 Tablespoon of salt

2 eggs (beaten)

2 cups of cold water

1 & 2/3 pkg of yeast or 1 & 1/2 Tablespoons of yeast

1/2 cup of sugar

Sift 6 cups of flour into large bowl & set aside. (I didn't do this. I just added it into my kitchen aid after everything else was mixed) Combine shortening, 1/4 cup water, salt, sugar & heat till shortening is melted, remove from heat & add 2 cups of cold water to cool down. Add yeast & 2 beaten eggs & stir till smooth. Make hole in flour & pour in half of liquid stirring from inside out. (again I didn't do this I just added it into the kitchen aid) Add remaining liquid & stir till combined. Cover with towel & set aside 1-2 hrs. Until doubled in size. Knead until together & roll till 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch squares and place on pan 1/4 inch apart. Cover & let sit for another 1-2 hours. Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes, remove from oven & brush with melted butter. Bake an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.These were very light and airy so good!
