Mom's Dinner Rolls

Source:  mom

1 T. yeast
1/4 c. warm water
1 c. warm water
1/4 c. dry powdered milk
1 t. salt
1/4 c. sugar
2 T. oil
1 egg
3 1/2 c. flour

Mix yeast and 1/4 c. warm water and set aside to dissolve.  Mix water, powdered milk, salt, sugar and oil together in the mixer.  Add yeast mixture.  Add egg and flour.  It will be too sticky to knead dough.  Let rise 1 1/2 hours.  Punch down and shape into crescent rolls.  Place on greased baking sheet and let rise until double in size.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  Makes 18 rolls.

You can mix up the dough 1-2 days ahead.  Keep in fridge in a bowl with lid.  Take out of fridge, shape and let double in size, then bake.

*These are not the butterhorn rolls I grew up on... but they are easier.  I just can't completely love them because I know they're imposters.
