2 Eggs
1/2 Cup butter, melted, plus more for brushing baked rolls with

Cut in shortening with a long tined fork.
Add eggs, beating lightly with fork before stirring them in.
Add remaining flour, melted butter, and water.
Stir together well; mixture will look like a big old lumpy blob.

After twenty minutes, turn out onto a floured surface.
Sprinkle flour over the top and knead three or four times.
Pat out into a square that is about 3/4" thick.

Let rise another twenty minutes.
Once again, like the first rising, pop it back in the oven to rise.
