Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it sit until frothy.
- Mix the self-rising flour, sugar, egg, and oil in a large bowl.
- Add the dissolved yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Drop spoonfuls of the batter into greased muffin tins.
- Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your self-rising flour is fresh and well-sifted. You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor. If you're out of self-rising flour, combine all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Letting the yeast sit longer than 5 minutes can enhance its activation, resulting in fluffier rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yeast instead of RapidRise yeast?
Yes, you can use regular active dry yeast, but you'll need to activate it first by dissolving it in the lukewarm water with a bit of sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly before mixing it into the dough.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can easily make a substitute. Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This mixture will work well in the recipe and yield similar results.
How can I make these rolls sweeter?
To enhance the sweetness, you can increase the sugar to 1/3 cup or add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the wet ingredients. This will give the rolls a slightly different flavor while still keeping them delicious.
