Butterflake Rolls

Kaleena Jensen
These are so delicious, a family tradition from my mom!

1 can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups HOT water
3/8 cu lukewarm water
3 yeast cakes (which are 3 packets in the strips or 2 1/4 tsp = 1 yeast cake)
3 eggs
1 1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
6-8 cups flour
1 cube butter

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water in small bowl.  Beat egss and then add sugar, salt, evaporated milk and hot water in main bowl, then add in yeast.  Slowly add up to 5 cups of flour and mix thoroughly.  Turn out on floured surface and knead, adding flour to make good dough, roll out to 1/2" thick and cut out in circles, melt butter and pour into baking sheets dip both sides of circle in butter and fold in half on baking sheet. Allow 2-4 hours to raise and bake 8-10 min at 370-400 degrees.  I would say this should make about 4 dozen rolls depending on size of circle.
