Dissolve yeast and 1 tsp. sugar in 1 c. hot water; let stand about 5 min.
Combine remaining sugar, salt, butter, and shortening in a large bowl. Add in boiling water, stirring till butter and shortening heat. Cold slightly.
Add in dissolved yeast, stirring well. Add in Large eggs and 3 c. flour, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer till smooth. Gradually stir in sufficient remaining flour to make a soft dough. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a hot place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, 1 to 1 1/2 hrs or possibly till doubled in bulk.
Punch dough down; turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead several times. Shape into 2-inch balls, and place in 3 greased 9-inch round pans. Cover and let rise in a hot place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, 30 to 40 min or possibly till doubled in bulk. Bake at 325 degrees F for 20 to 25 min or possibly till golden brown.
Yield: 3 dozen.
Note: I'm only posting the basic recipe: the original had a number of variations, including Sweet Yeast Braid, Sweet-Filled Yeast Loaves, and Sweet Pinwheel Rolls. The article also gave recipes for a number of fillings such as Cinnamon-Cheese Filling, Orange-Cheese Filling, and Chocolate-Cheese Filling; and one topping, Sugar Glaze. Check the magazine
(or possibly one of the yearly cookbook compilations) if you're interested in them for about $7.95, and IMHO, they're well worth the money!).
