3 1/2 cups flour (about)

1 1/4 cups milk

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter

1 teaspoon salt

In mixer bowl combine yeast and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Heat together milk, shortening, sugar and salt just until warm, stirring occasionally to melt shortening. Add to dry mixture in mixing bowl; add egg.

Beat at low speed of electric mixer for 30 seconds, scraping sides constantly. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand stir in rest of flour (2 cups). Place in greased bowl. Lightly oil top of dough. Cover and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours.

About 2-2 1/2 hours before serving, shape into clover leaf rolls and place in greased muffin pans. Brush with melted butter. Let rise about 1-1 1/2 hours until double in bulk. Bake in 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes.
