1 c. milk (divided)
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter

Place the other 1/2 c of the milk in a bowl and beat the egg into this mixture.
Pour the saucepan mixture and yeast mixture into a large bowl.
Sift in the flour.
After about half of the flour has been worked in,
you need to add the milk and egg mixture.
Then add in the remainder of the flour.
Mix well and cover loosely with plastic wrap,
let it rise to about double the size.

After rising,
Make round balls of the dough and place on cookie sheet
and let them double again.
Bake in a 350° oven for about 13 minutes
or until golden brown.

*When rolling dough into balls, put some flour on your hands
or the dough will stick to your hands.
