Instructions

- Add egg, sugar, melted shortening, and warm water; stir well.
- Fill muffin pans about halfway with the batter.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh and the water is warm but not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. If you don't have shortening, melted butter can be a great substitute. You can also add herbs or garlic powder to the batter for extra flavor. If you're looking for more bread options, consider trying Bread(Martha Mulligan'S) for variety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance. After mixing, cover it and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature and rise before filling the muffin pans and baking.
What can I do if my rolls don't rise?
If your rolls don't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast. Always check the expiration date on your yeast before using it, and ensure that the water is at the right temperature. If the dough is too cold, it won’t rise properly, so give it a warm environment.
Can I add fillings to the rolls?
Absolutely! You can add cheese, herbs, or even pieces of cooked sausage or ham before baking. Just be sure not to overfill the muffin cups to allow for proper rising. This adds a delicious twist to the basic roll recipe.
