Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix self-rising flour, shortening, and milk until a soft dough forms.
- Roll out the dough thin on a floured surface.
- Spread melted margarine over the rolled-out dough.
- Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon evenly over the margarine.
- Roll up the dough like a jelly roll.
- Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch slices.
- Place the slices on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting butter for the margarine. You can also experiment with different spices; nutmeg or allspice can add a unique twist. If the dough feels too sticky, dust it with a little more flour while rolling it out. Make sure to roll tightly for even slices, which will bake more uniformly. These stickies pair beautifully with Minute Penuche Frosting for a sweet finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful stickies warm for a comforting treat. They make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside fresh fruit or yogurt. Pair them with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack. You can also enjoy them with a drizzle of icing or alongside a scoop of ice cream for dessert, creating a delightful contrast to the sticky sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover stickies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a plastic bag for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore their softness and warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour, but you'll need to add baking powder and salt to mimic the self-rising properties. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
What can I do if my dough is too dry?
If your dough feels too dry, you can add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a soft, workable consistency. Be careful not to add too much, as this can make the dough sticky.
How can I make these stickies more festive?
To add a festive touch, consider incorporating dried fruits or nuts into the filling before rolling. Chopped pecans or cranberries can enhance the flavor. Additionally, you could glaze the stickies with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk for a holiday presentation.
