NEWS ONE BEST RECIPE - Fancy Breads/Finger Rolls

One of the things you may notice in reading these old recipes is how simple they are, very few have more than half a dozen ingredients.

FANCY BREADS - FINGER ROLLS
1 1/2 cups of boiling water
1/2 cup of shortening
1 1/2 cups of condensed milk
2 teaspoons of salt
1 yeast cake
1/4 cup of warm water
2 quarts of flour

Put first 4 ingredients in mixing bowl; when lukewarm add yeast cake dissolved in lukewarm water and four cups sifted flour. Beat well and add three cups flour stirring with a knife, then add enough more flour to knead. Knead until smooth and elastic and let rise until double in bulk. Turn out on floured cloth or board and divide into four equal parts and each part into 8 portions. Roll into round biscuits covering with a cloth as they are made. Beginning with the first roll into long finger-shaped biscuit and place close together in greased pan - the broiler pan of the gas oven is good. Let rise until double in bulk and back 25 minutes in hot oven. Just before they are done brush with beaten egg.
