Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast into warm water; stir until dissolved.
- Beat in sugar, salt, milk, margarine, and eggs.
- Add 3 cups of flour and beat until smooth.
- Beat in enough additional flour (about 2 3/4 cups) to make a soft dough that leaves sides of the bowl.
- Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, make sure your water and milk are warm but not too hot, as this can kill the yeast. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works well as a substitute. You can also experiment with half whole wheat flour for added nutrition. If the dough is too sticky, add flour gradually until it reaches the right consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These Sally Lunn rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch, served alongside jam or honey. They pair beautifully with a warm bowl of soup or a salad for lunch. For a delightful dessert, consider serving them with a scoop of ice cream or a slice of Plum Crunch.

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can freeze them for up to a month. Reheat frozen rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it after the first rise. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping and continuing with the recipe. This method allows for a more developed flavor.
What if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it could be due to inactive yeast. Always check the expiration date of your yeast and ensure that your water is at the right temperature. If the dough is too cold, it may take longer to rise.
Can I add herbs or spices to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding dried herbs like rosemary or thyme can enhance flavor. Start with about a teaspoon and adjust according to your taste. For sweet variations, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to complement the rolls.
