Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Add 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Set aside while you beat eggs very lightly. (By all means use mixer). Add 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 lb butter (cut in chunks) & salt. While stirring briskly, add boiling water. Let cook to lukewarm. (It is right for me when I finish stirring). Add yeast mixture & flour. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Cover & put in refrigerator several hours or overnight. To make rolls, melt 1/3 stick butter in pan. Roll out dough & cut with biscuit cutter. Dough is very sticky, so it takes about 1 cup flour to handle. Dip in melted butter, give a pull & stretch, & lap over. Let rise about 2-1/2 hours. Bake at 375 about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
