“This is my mother’s, Ruth Goodman Hardimon, Cloverleaf Rolls recipe.”

“This dough can also be used for Ruth’s Donuts and Marilyn’s Swedish Tea Ring.”

2 packages yeast

½ cup warm water

2 cups scalded milk

½ cup margarine

½ cup sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoon salt

7 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in ½ cup water. Set aside to rise. Bring milk to a boil. Remove from heat and add sugar, salt and margarine. Let cool. Stir in eggs, yeast and 1 cup flour. Add rest of flour. Cover mixed dough with a towel and allow to double in size. Press dough down. Roll and shape dough – 3 balls for one roll. Place in a greased muffin tin. Let shaped dough double in size. Bake in a 375-degree oven for 15 minutes. Brush top of rolls with butter when taken out of oven. Makes 3-5 dozen rolls.
