1. Warm the milk until lukewarm. 2. In a large bowl pour in the lukewarm milk, stir in sugar, the 4 tablespoons of softened butter and the yeast. Let stand for 15 minutes. 3. Add eggs and salt to the mixture. 4. Stir in 4 cups of flour a little at a time adding more if needed to get a rough dough texture. 5. Knead dough until smooth (about 5-10 minutes). 6. Place the dough into a clean bowl coated with shortening; cover with tea towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours). 7. Coat 2 muffin pans with shortening. 8. Punch down raised dough and roll into balls, sized to fit 3 into each cup in the pan. Make a few to fit four balls in the pan for the 4-leaf clovers. 9. Cover the pans with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours. 10. Preheat the oven to 400F; brush the rolls with the melted butter and bake about 20 minutes until lightly browned. 11. Let cool slightly before serving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
