Ingredients
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the buttermilk and the yeast mixture, stirring until just combined to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- Place the balls on a greased baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Angel Rolls, consider adding herbs or spices like garlic powder or rosemary to the dry ingredients. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Remember to keep your dough soft; over-kneading can make the rolls tough.
Serving Suggestions
Angel Rolls are versatile and can be served warm with butter, honey, or jam. They pair wonderfully with hearty soups or stews, making them a great addition to a cozy meal. For a delightful dessert experience, enjoy them alongside Homemade Ice Cream(Van Doren Hotel, Holly Springs, Mississippi).
