Blue Ribbon Recipe by

This is a recipe I got from my Grandma Statom. It's very easy, even if you are a beginner in making rolls. Grandma was a cook in a restaurant until she retired. I remember she would fix huge dinners every time we would go to her house. We used to say we are coming to see you, don't cook, but once we got there she would have a huge meal cooked for us like it was nothing. I miss you, Grandma.

These rolls seem practically fail-proof to us! This is a wonderfully tasty recipe... definitely worth the effort! Enjoy.

    Add the egg and shortening. Beat in the rest of the flour gradually until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and refrigerate.

    Punch down after two hours (or you can leave it overnight). Make into rolls. Place on a baking sheet. I usually use my cupcake pan or a 9x13-inch cake pan.
