Cornmeal Rolls (from Kendra Z.)

1/3 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups milk
1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 beaten eggs
4 cups flour, or more as needed

Cook cornmeal, sugar, salt, shortening, and milk in medium saucepan until thick (like cooked cereal). Cool to lukewarm. Add yeast that has been dissolved in lukewarm water, then add eggs. Beat thoroughly. Add flour to form soft dough. Knead well on lightly floured surface. Place in lightly greased bowl, turn to coat all sides. Cover (with a towel or something) and let rise until doubled. Grease cookie sheet. Form dough into rolls and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.
