Ingredients
Instructions
- Add yeast to very warm water and let it dissolve.
- Melt margarine and cream it with sugar in a large bowl.
- Add egg to the mixture and stir well.
- Pour in the dissolved yeast and mix thoroughly.
- Add self-rising flour and stir until the dough is well combined.

- To cook, spoon the dough into well-greased muffin pans.

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. Allow the dough to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour to improve texture. Experiment with adding herbs or cheese for a savory twist, which pairs beautifully with Pecan Swirl Pudding Cake.
Serving Suggestions
These spoon rolls are delightful when served warm with butter or jam. They make an excellent side for soups or salads, and you can even use them to soak up sauces. For a special treat, serve them alongside your favorite dessert, like Double Chocolate Gooey Butter Cake, to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover spoon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through and fluffy again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for instant yeast in this recipe. Just be sure to activate it first by dissolving it in the warm water and letting it sit for about 5-10 minutes until bubbly before adding it to the other ingredients.
What if I don't have self-rising flour?
If you don't have self-rising flour on hand, you can create a substitute by mixing 4 cups of all-purpose flour with 6 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. This will give you a similar leavening effect for your spoon rolls.
Can I freeze the dough for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the dough! After mixing, portion it into muffin pans and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the frozen dough balls to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake as usual for fresh rolls.
