½
cup quick oatmeal  
cups boiling water  
teaspoon salt  
2 eggs  
2 packages dry yeast  
½ cup warm water  
5½ - 6 cups flour  
cup molasses  
1/3 cup shortening  
Mix quick oatmeal and 2 cups boiling water. Add salt, molasses, and shortening.  
Boiling water will melt the shortening.) Let cool. Then add eggs and dry yeast dissolved  
(
in ½ cup warm water. Add 5½ - 6 cups flour. Dough will be soft. Let rise once, then  
form buns. Grease hands as dough is sticky. Let rise again. Bake 20 minutes at 350º.  
I use my Oster bread hooks for these. Grease the top of the hooks so dough won't climb  
them. Easy & fast.
