1 tsp. salt

Add eggs to mixture, then add 1 cup flour and beat until mixture is smooth. Add yeast mixture and beat until blended. Continue to beat as you add flour, a little at a time, until dough is elastic and cleans easily from hands. Form into a smooth ball; brush with melted shortening and let rise until it is doubled in size. Form into walnut size balls.
