Grandmother'S Rolls
Grandmother's Rolls are soft, buttery, and slightly sweet homemade rolls perfect for family dinners, holidays, or special occasions, offering comforting flavor and fluffy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and add sugar.
- Add melted butter and beaten egg to the yeast mixture.
- Add self-rising flour and stir until combined.
- Roll out the dough like biscuits.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup of flour. Rolling the dough out thick will give you fluffier rolls. Optionally, brush the tops with additional melted butter before baking for a richer flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect served warm alongside a hearty soup or stew, making them a delightful addition to any meal. They pair beautifully with Granny'S Chocolate Sauce for a sweet twist or can be enjoyed with savory dishes like Scalloped Corn And Green Peppers. Consider serving them with a spread of butter or jam for breakfast or brunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain their softness and freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of packaged yeast?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast. Just be sure to activate it by dissolving it in warm water with the sugar for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy before proceeding with the recipe.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try adding a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Avoid adding too much flour at once, as it can make the rolls dense.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and let it rise, then shape the rolls and refrigerate them overnight. Allow them to come to room temperature and rise again before baking for fresh rolls in the morning.
