1 1/2 C warm water
1/2 T white sugar
2/3 C white sugar
1 1/2 packets of yeast
1/8 C milk
1 Egg
1/2 T salt
5 C flour
1/8 C shortening
1/8 C butter- melted
1. In a large bowl, mix together the warm water and 1/2 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let it stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
2. Mix the milk, eggs and salt into the yeast. Measure the flour into a separate bowl, add 1/3 cup sugar, and crumble the shortening into it using your fingers until it is barely noticeable. Gradually stir the flour into the wet ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and starts to form a ball around the spoon. Cover with a hot wet towel that has been wrung out, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes.
3. When the dough has risen, pour the melted butter over it, and knead for about 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut into 2 inch squares. Roll squares into balls, and place into greased round pans, spacing about 1 inch apart. Let rise again until doubled in size. You could also refrigerate the dough, and let it rise overnight for baking the next day.
4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the rolls for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.

Crepes with Orange Sauce
6 eggs
1 C milk
3/4 C flour
1/4 C sugar
1 t vanilla
1/2 t salt
dash of oil (optional)
(to be honest, I am guessing on these amounts- I usually just add things until it is the right consistency- like a thin pancake batter- just thick enough to be about 1/8 in thick, but thin enough to spread it around the pan and cover the bottom of a large fry pan.)
Mix together in a blender until a nice smooth consistency. Pour out only a 1/4 to a 1/2 cup in a well- buttered pan on medium- high heat and spread around the pan by lifting and tilting the pan. Flip it after a minute or so and cook for another 30 seconds. Set on a plate- we like to roll ours up and then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Sauce:
1/2 C frozen orange juice concentrate
1 stick of butter
1 C sugar
Melt butter and orange juice in a pot and then add sugar. Cook on medium heat until well mixed and then turn it up just a bit to slightly boiling- keep mixing with a wire wisk fora minute or so, then turn down the heat and let it simmer while you cook your crepes. Very tasty!

Breakfast Casserole
8-12 oz Cooked Sausage (depends on what you got- this is a nice way to use your leftover sausage)
8 eggs
small container of heavy cream
6 oz shredded cheese
4 slices of bread
Cut up the cooked sausage into small chunks. Break bread into small peices. Sprinkle the bread over the bottom of a casserole dish. Sprinkle the sausage over this. Now sprinkle the cheese over this. Then mix the eggs and cream together and pour it over the rest of the ingredients in the pan. This should just cover the other things- if it doesn't, just add some more eggs and maybe milk...
Cover and put in the fridge over night.
The next morning; cook it in a 350 oven for about half an hour- it is done when it no longer gigles in the middle and the sides are turning golden.
