Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast, sugar, and 1/2 cup water; set aside to rise before mixing all together.
- Mix all ingredients and put in a buttered bowl.
- Let the dough rise until doubled in size.
- Roll out the dough and cut into biscuits.
- Dip the biscuits in melted margarine.
- Fold the dipped biscuits over and place in a pan.

- Bake at 425°F for 25 minutes or until done. Brush with melted margarine before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure your yeast is fresh and fully activated before mixing it with the other ingredients. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. For a richer flavor, try using melted butter instead of oil.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these rolls warm with a side of Ed'S Simple Marmalade for a delightful contrast of flavors. They also pair beautifully with a hearty soup or salad, such as Carrot And Pineapple Salad, making them perfect for a comforting meal. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best taste!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through, keeping them covered with foil to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast in this recipe. Just be sure to dissolve it with the sugar and lukewarm water before mixing it with the other ingredients. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating it's active.
What can I add to the dough for extra flavor?
Consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or spices such as garlic powder for a savory twist. For a sweeter touch, you can mix in cinnamon or even some grated cheese for added richness.
How can I tell when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick inserted in the center; if it comes out clean, they are ready to be taken out of the oven.
