Now if I was taking a vote, these would not be my number 1 favorite rolls. I prefer these. BUT, they are pretty good especially when you take into account the time it makes to whip these suckers up. They are very much worth it when you are looking to make rolls and are crunched for time!
3/4 C milk
4 T butter
3/4 C hot water
4 T sugar
1 t salt
4 - 4 1/2 C flour
1 heaping T yeast (I use active dry, but instant would work as well)
Pour your milk into a microwave safe container. Add your butter to the milk and put it in the microwave for 1 1/2 minutes. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees. While the milk is getting nice and toasty, turn on the tap to get your hot water. Temperature is important to making these rolls rise quickly. Put your milk/butter and hot water in the bottom of your Kitchen Aid Mixer (if you are lucky enough to have one. I just use my hand mixer). Add the sugar and salt. Then add 2 C of the flour...let it mix for 1 minute. Add the yeast. Turn the mixer on and add the rest of the flour 1 C at a time. You have enough flour when the dough scrapes the side of the bowl clean. Mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.
Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 5 minutes. You need the plastic wrap to trap the heat. Take a stick of butter and coat the inside of a 9x13 pan (or use cooking spray). Spray your counter, or a cutting board with cooking spray. Lay your dough on top of it. Take a sharp knife, spray it with cooking spray and cut your dough into 12 pieces. Make them as equal as you can....perfection is not necessary. What a relief. Gently round them into balls, and put them in your buttered 9x13 pan.
Put the pan into your warm 170 degree oven. Let them rise for about 20 minutes or until they have risen about 1 inch above the rim of the pan. Leave your pan in the oven and turn the heat up to 350 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes. This time includes the time it takes the oven to increase in temperature. If your oven takes a long old time....you will of course need to increase the time baking. Bake until golden brown.

You are a great cook and great recipe finder! Have you been cooking up a storm lately? Can't wait to try all these new recipes!
No, but I have tried a lot of new recipes over the last few months and have already started forgetting about some good ones or loosing them so I figured I better post them when I think of them.
Good idea!
