Kolaches

Directions

1. 1
   Heat milk, add shortening to dissolve, let cool to lukewarm. Add salt, egg yolks and egg, and sugar.
2. 2
   Add all of this to the yeast (which by this time should have risen to a foamy stage).
3. 3
   Add 3 cups flour first and beat with mixer until dough is smooth and shiny.
4. 4
   Then add the remainder of the flour, a little at a time, beating until smooth after each addition.
5. 5
   (After 4 to 5 cups of flour, you need to change to your dough hooks.)
6. 6
   The dough should be glossy; it will not be as thick as used for dinner rolls. Butter the dough and let rise in bowl until double in bulk, about one hour.
7. 7
   Cover the bowl of dough with a clean dish towel while it is rising.
