Bo Bo's Refrigerator Rolls

This is my great grandma's recipe.

¾ cup warm milk

3 pkgs. Yeast

¾ cup water

2 sticks margarine

3 eggs, slightly beaten

½ cup sugar

1 tsp salt

4 cups flour

Soften yeast in ¾ cup of warm water, set aside. Place ¾ cup milk and margarine in large Dutch oven, heat until margarine is just barely melted (do not get too hot because you’ll be adding eggs to this mixture.). Add eggs and stir well. Add yeast mixture, sugar and salt. Stir that in. Add 2 cups of the flour, mix in. Add remaining 2 cups of flour and beat in.

Cover tightly and refrigerate at least 8 hours. (Can leave overnight) Take out of fridge at least 2 hours before desired baking time. Grease the sides and bottom of a large cake pan with margarine. This is a stick dough so flour your hands and punch down. Pinch off a small piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it in your greased cake pan and flatten. (The balls should be touching each other so they will rise up instead of spreading out.)

Note: When Bobo makes this recipe, she moves the dough to one side of her pan after punching it down, then puts some flour in the other side of the pan and dips her pinch of dough into the flour before rolling it into a ball.

Let rolls rise at least an hour, until doubled. Drizzle melted margarine on tops of rolls, using a spoon, and rub lightly. Back on center rack at 425º until lightly browned.
