Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine and let it cool.
- Add all other ingredients and stir until well blended.
- Ensure the dough is soft and sticky.
- Place the dough in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- To serve, spoon the dough into greased muffin tins.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches the desired consistency. Remember, the key to soft rolls is not to overwork the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These easy drop rolls are perfect for family dinners and pair beautifully with dishes like Casey's Monkey Bread or a hearty soup. Serve them warm with butter or your favorite jam for breakfast. They also make a great accompaniment to salads or alongside a Bible's Bologna Sandwich for a casual meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before spooning it into muffin tins and baking, as this will help the rolls rise better.
What can I do if my dough isn't rising?
If your dough isn't rising, it may be due to the yeast being old or not activated properly. Make sure to use warm water (not hot) to activate the yeast, and check the expiration date on the yeast package. If the dough still doesn't rise, it may be best to start over with fresh yeast.
Can I add ingredients to the dough?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your drop rolls by adding herbs, cheese, or even chopped garlic for extra flavor. You can also mix in some spices or seeds to give them a unique twist. Just keep in mind that adding too many ingredients might alter the texture of the rolls.
