butter, shortening, salt and remaining sugar.
Add boiling water; cool to 110° to 115°F. Add

Cooking Tips:
*If you're searching for a
warm place to let your dough rise, turn on your oven to
400 degrees for 1 minute and turn the light on.
Turn it off after one minute, keep the light on, and
place your bowl of dough in the slightly warmed oven.
The light will help keep it warm enough to rise. |
