In A Hurry Rolls
Quick and fluffy rolls with a hint of sweetness, perfect for breakfast or snacks, suitable for busy mornings or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Pour into dry ingredients with melted shortening and beaten egg. Mix well.
- Spoon the mixture into a greased muffin pan.
- Fill each cup half full.
- Bake at 425°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is lukewarm, as too hot can kill the yeast. If you're out of shortening, you can substitute with an equal amount of unsalted butter or margarine. If you prefer a sweeter roll, consider adding a touch more sugar or honey. Mixing the dough vigorously will help develop a better texture, making these rolls light and fluffy.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for breakfast or brunch, especially alongside a savory dish like Green Chili-Cheese Quiche. Serve them warm with butter or jam for a delightful treat. They also make an excellent side to soups and salads, complementing meals like Carrot Casserole Surprise or a hearty stew.
Storage & Reheating
Store any 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 3 months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through, maintaining their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast; just mix it directly with the dry ingredients without dissolving it first. However, you may need to adjust the liquid slightly since instant yeast can absorb moisture differently.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they're ready to be taken out of the oven.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just allow it to come to room temperature and rise for about 30 minutes before spooning into the muffin pan and baking.
