Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and grease a muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and baking powder.

- Pour the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about half full.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the self-rising flour before mixing, and consider adding herbs or cheese for extra flavor. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. This recipe can also be adapted for a sweet version by adding a bit of sugar and vanilla extract.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful rolls warm as a side to soups or salads. They pair beautifully with a creamy soup or a fresh garden salad. For a hearty breakfast, enjoy them with scrambled eggs or alongside a Veggie Quiche. Drizzle with honey or serve with butter for a sweet treat.

Store any leftover Elsie Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through.
