Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Mix yeast, sugar or honey, oil, egg, and self-rising flour until well combined.
- Place the dough in a tightly covered bowl and refrigerate.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, make sure your yeast is fresh and the water is warm but not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt per cup of flour. Consider adding herbs or cheese for a flavor twist.
Serving Suggestions
These Easy Spoon Rolls are perfect for brunch or as a side with soups and stews. They pair beautifully with *Easy Pea Salad* or can be served alongside a hearty main dish. Consider drizzling them with honey or serving them with butter for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover batter in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days. When ready to bake, simply spoon it into greased muffin tins straight from the fridge. For reheating, bake at 400°F for about 3-5 minutes until warm and fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, if you don't have self-rising flour, you can use all-purpose flour. Just add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt for each cup of flour to achieve a similar leavening effect.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
You can enhance the flavor by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or mix in shredded cheese to the batter. This adds a savory touch that's perfect for pairing with soups or salads.
Can I freeze the batter for later use?
It's not recommended to freeze the batter as it may affect the yeast's ability to rise. However, you can bake the rolls and freeze the cooked rolls for up to 3 months. Reheat them in the oven before serving.
