| 1. Sprinkle yeast over the warm water in a large mixing bowl; stir and let stand 5 minutes. | 2. When the yeast is working a bit stir the honey, lard and salt into the yeast mixture. | 3. Add 2 1/2 cups flour. | 4. Mix at low speed and then beat at medium speed until the dough is very elastic, about 5 minutes. | 5. Gradually stir in as much of the remaining flour as needed to make a soft dough. | 6. Knead on floured surface until dough is smooth in texture and very elastic, 15-20 minutes (use a dough hook on your mixer and knead for about 10-15 minutes). | 7. Place dough in a greased bowl, turn the dough so all surfaces have a sheen of oil. | 8. Cover and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour (I turn on the light in the oven and place the dough in there to rise, do NOT heat the oven!). | 9. Punch the dough down and knead briefly on a floured surface. | 10. Divide dough into 10 pieces and roll into balls. | 11. Work with the palms of your hands and start at the center of each ball to roll out into ovals. | 12. Each piece should be about 5 1/2" long and 2" in the middle, tapering to each end. | 13. Place rolls on a greased baking sheet, cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 25 minutes. | 14. Meanwhile heat oven to 375F degrees. | 15. Mix cornstarch and cold water, heat stirring constantly to boiling, boil until thickened and clear about 2 minutes. | 16. Brush each roll with the cornstarch mixture. | 17. Slash each roll down the middle stopping about 1/2" from each end and cutting about 1/2" deep. | 18. Bake until the rolls are brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 30-35 minutes. Remove from baking sheets and cool on racks. | 19. Serve warm & fresh from the oven. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
