Basic Rolls (Orange Rolls, Cinnamon Rolls)

Ingredients:
6 eggs, beaten
1 C. sugar
1 C. oil
2 tsp. salt
2 C. hot tap water
10-12 C. flour
2 T. dry yeast dissolved in ½ C. very warm water

Instructions:
Dissolve yeast in water and let sit and proof for about 20 minutes before you start making the dough. It should raise and be foamy. Beat eggs, sugar, oil, salt and water in mixer. Add about half of the flour and the yeast mixture. Add remaining flour. Dough will be very soft. Knead for 2 minutes. Let raise in a large bowl for 1 ½ to 3 hours. Punch down and refrigerate over night or for a few hours. Form rolls and let raise 2-4 hours. Bake at 400 degrees. Bake rolls for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Bake sweet rolls for about 10 minutes.

This dough is good for sweet rolls, pizza, bread sticks or rolls.

Orange rolls: 1 stick butter, the zest of 1 orange and sugar to make a thick paste.

Sweet rolls: sugar and cinnamon, mixed together.

Hootenanny Pancakes

We called these "German Pancakes" growing up, but my kids like the name "Hootenanny Pancakes" that comes from the recipe book we have.

Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. butter*

Instructions:
Beat together eggs, flour, milk, and salt for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, ehat oven to 425 degrees. Place butter in a 9 X 13 glass baking dush. Put in hot oven just long enough to melt butter. Remove and pour beaten egg mixture into hot butter. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes. Pancake will "grow" up the sides of the pan. Cut into slices and top with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries, or maple syrup.

Notes:
*I rarely use this much butter, I usually use about half this much--about 1/4 cup.
