Angel Rolls

Their simple ingredients and quick preparation make them a delightful treat for family gatherings or special mornings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Let the dough rise for 30 minutes, then knead and cut out with a biscuit cutter.
- Dip the cutouts in melted butter and let rise again.
- Bake at 450°F until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure that your shortening is at room temperature before mixing. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Experiment by adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough for a savory twist. These angel rolls also pair wonderfully with dishes like Easy Peanut Butter Candy for dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Angel rolls are best served warm, brushed with additional melted butter. They make a perfect accompaniment to soups and stews or can be served alongside a hearty salad. Try them with a dollop of Apricot Spread for a sweet twist. These rolls are versatile and can also complement a breakfast table with jams and spreads.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover angel rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through, to restore their fluffy texture.
