Nana Rolls

This is a precious recipe I hope to keep forever.  Growing up my Nana made rolls all the time, and I thought it was perfectly normal.  Little did I know they take some time and effort, and a lot of skill!  Our family loves making these and remembering all our good times at Nana's eating homemade rolls.

6 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter
2 cups water
2 Tablespoons yeast (or 2 packets)
2 teaspoons Salt
2 eggs

Pour 1 cup boiling water over butter and sugar.  This needs to be done first so it can start cooling.  Let cool to room temp.  In 1 cup cold water add yeast.  Once the first mixture is cool add well beaten eggs and salt.  Then mix in yeast mixture and flour.  Mix well & knead.  Let rise for about 2 hours.  Punch down then make into rolls and let rise for about another 2 hours.  Bake rolls at 350F for 10 minutes.  This makes a lot of rolls, so it may be advisable to half the recipe unless you are making it for a crowd.
