12-Hour Butterhorns

This is Dixie's mom, Mildred Petersen's recipe.

1/2 c margarine
1 c milk
1/2 c sugar
3 eggs
1 t salt
4 c flour
1 T yeast
1/2 c water

Just before going to bed put margarine and milk in the microwave to semi-melt the margarine and heat the milk.  Put sugar and salt in a large bowl and then add the margarine and milk.  Add 2 cups of four and then the yeast.  Let sit a minute and add the other 2 cups of flour, no more.  Let it sit on the counter overnight covered with a cloth or plastic wrap.  In the morning dump dough onto floured counter.  Work a little flour into the dough.  It will be sticky, but doesn't take much flour to make it workable.  Divide in half.  Roll out each part into a circle.  Spread melted margarine on top.  Cut into triangles like a pizza (16 slices) and roll up from the big end to the small end.  Put on a greased cookie sheet and let rise.  Bake at 350 F for 12 minutes.  Makes 32 rolls.
