Parker House Rolls

Recipe Added:  11/20/2011
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups hot water
1/2 cup oil
6 – 7 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 Tbsp instant yeast
1/4 cup butter, melted
Add hot water to sugar and oil and beat with electric mixer (or by hand). Add eggs and salt; beat well. When mixture is lukewarm, add yeast and keep beating. Add flour until a soft dough forms. Do not knead. Let rise in covered, oil bowl for one hour.

Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut circles with round cutter, about 3 inches in diameter. Holding dough circle by the edge, dip both sides into butter, melted. Fold in half on baking sheet and pinch edges together to seal. Arrange folded dough in rows in pan, nearly touching. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Brush tops with butter, melted.

Notes
Mom used to make rolls just like these for holiday dinners.
