- 2 eggs slightly beaten
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 cup lard no substitutions TEST WITH BUTTER
- 5 ½ cups flour

- Add the flour and then cut the lard into mixture with hands (or pastry blender). Salt to taste (about one palm full)
- Refrigerate dough overnight.
- Take dough out of the refrigerator about two hours before working out.
- Prepare a large bowl of flour for working out rolls. They will be quite sticky and need a lot of flour. Make rolls and let rise 30 to 40 minutes. Bake at 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
