Recipe: Sweet Quick-Do Rolls (Arm & Hammer Baking Soda, 1949)

SWEET QUICK-DO ROLLS

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Arm & Hammer Brand or Cow Brand Baking Soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 cake compressed yeast or 1 package dry granular yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
6 tablespoons vinegar plus enough milk to make 3/4 cup liquid

Sift flour, baking soda, salt and sugar together and cut in shortening.

Soften yeast in lukewarm water.

Heat vinegar and milk to lukewarm and combine with yeast. Add liquid to dry ingredients gradually and stir only until flour is blended. Dough should be as soft as can be handled.

Turn onto lightly floured board; knead gently 1 minute. Shape as desired. Place on lightly greased baking pan. Let rise about 1 hour or until double in bulk, in a warm place (90 to 95 degrees F.).

Bake at 375 degrees F. (moderate oven) about 15 minutes.

Makes approximately 1 to 1 1/2 dozen rolls
