Butterhorns and/or Orange Rolls (Laura M)

Butterhorns By Laura Martin Amazing! - never fail 1 T Active Dry Yeast ½ C Butter or Margarine ½ C Sugar 3 Eggs, Beaten ¾ C Milk, scalded ¾ tsp. Salt 3½-4½ C Flour, scooped Rolls: Soften yeast in warm water, set aside. Combine melted butter with scalded milk (I just put milk in microwave until warm). Stir in sugar, salt, and eggs. Cool. Stir in softened yeast and enough flour to make a soft dough (you don't want it too sticky - but not too tough either). Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise until double in size (2-3 hours). Turn onto lightly floured board. Dough is very soft and should remain so. Divide dough in half. Roll each half into 14 inch circles (like a pizza). Spread each circle with ¼ cup of melted butter. (optional) Cut pie fashion into 16 pieces. Roll from large end to small. Place on cookie sheet.Let rise at room temp 2-3 hours. Bake at 375 for 11 minutes or until golden.
