Mary's delicious rolls

I got this recipe from a friend many years ago...they are easy to make and turn out delicious every time!

Small bowl:
2 pkgs. yeast (or 2-3 tbsp.)
1 tbs. sugar
1/2 c. lukewarm water

Large bowl:
2 c. warm water
1 c. sugar
1 c. butter
2 tsp. salt
2-3 cups flour

Mix ingredients in small bowl.  Add yeast ingredients to large bowl mixture.  Add 4 eggs and 4-5 cups more flour to make a stiff batter (do not knead).  Oil the top of the batter and place in the fridge overnight or at least 4-6 hours. 

Divide it into 4 sections.  Roll one section into a circle (about 1/2 inch thick) and brush the top of the circle with butter.  Cut it like a pizza into 12 pieces.  Roll from the wide point to the small point and place on a baking sheet point down.  Let rise for 2 hours.  Bake at 375 degrees until beginning to brown, then turn the heat down to 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.  Brush with melted butter and enjoy!
