Quick Buttermilk Rolls

1/4 cup warm water
1 cup lukewarm buttermilk
3 tsps. salt
1/4 cup soft shortening
4 to 4 1/2 cups flour
2 cakes yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. soda
2 eggs

Add soda to warm buttermilk. Mix yeast with warm water and 1/2 cup flour to make sponge. Then add buttermilk with eggs and soft shortening; add rest of flour. Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic and no longer sticks to board. Round up in greased bowl then turn over with greased side up, cover with damp cloth. Let rise in warm place (85 degrees) until double in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Knead down and form rolls. Place on baking sheet and let rise again until double in bulk, about 30 minutes. Bake in preheated 375-degree oven 15 to 18 minutes. Yields 2 1/2 dozen.
