Grandma’s Refrigerator Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 packages active dry yeast
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons soft margarine
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 3/4 to 3 1/4 cups (white) flour

Steps

1. Put the warm water in a bowl and sprinkle in the yeast.
2. Stir in the sugar, salt and margarine, then the eggs.
3. Add the whole wheat flour, then enough white flour to make a stiff dough.
4. Grease the top of the dough and let it rise until double, 40 to 60 minutes.
5. Shape into rolls and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Notes

Handwritten card titled “Grandmas Refrig Rolls”; the directions are on the back (both sides shown below).

The card doesn’t say when to refrigerate the dough or how to shape the rolls; refrigerator-roll dough is usually covered and chilled after mixing, then shaped and left to rise before baking.
