Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the Crisco into the self-rising flour until well incorporated.
- Add sugar and buttermilk to the mixture and stir with a spoon until combined.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water, then add it to the flour mixture.
- Shape the mixture into rolls and let them rise for 30 minutes.
- Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown.
- For refrigeration, refrigerate the shaped rolls and let them rise for 45 minutes after taking them out of the refrigerator before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your Crisco is well incorporated into the flour, creating a crumbly mixture. If you're out of self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt per cup. Experiment with different fats like butter or margarine for varied flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of the packaged yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast. Just make sure to proof it in the warm water for about 5-10 minutes before adding it to your mixture. This ensures the yeast is activated and will help your rolls rise properly.
What can I do if my rolls don't rise properly?
If your rolls don't rise, check the freshness of your yeast. If it's old or not stored properly, it may not activate well. Additionally, ensure your warm water isn’t too hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. If needed, let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free area.
Can I freeze the rolls before or after baking?
You can freeze the shaped, unbaked rolls for up to three months. Just place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then allow them to rise before baking.
