Aunt Jeannette's Oatmeal Rolls

Cook one minute uncovered:
2 cups boiling water
1 cup quick oats (I have used fresh oats and just cooked it a little longer, 2 minutes?)
Add to oatmeal mixture:
2/3 cup brown sugar
3 Tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold water
Cool above mixture until cool enough to add yeast and stir in:
2 Tablespoons yeast
3 cups flour

Beat well, adding enough flour to make a soft dough that is sticky.  Knead 6 - 8 minutes.  Let rise until double. Shape into rolls (balls). (I flour my hands)
Cover and let rise for 30 minutes  Bake @ 350 for 20-25 minutes.
