Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine and mix the dry yeast with the very warm water.
- In a bowl, combine the melted margarine and sugar, then add the egg and mix well.
- Add the yeast and water mixture to the bowl and stir.
- Gradually add the self-rising flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Place the dough in a container with a tight lid and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Put spoonfuls of dough into well-greased muffin tins.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. Ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt to each cup of all-purpose flour. Allow the dough to rise for a bit after mixing for a fluffier texture.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect alongside soups, especially with a warm bowl of Nora'S Homemade Tomato Soup. Serve them fresh out of the oven with butter or honey for a delightful treat. They also pair well with hearty meals, making them a versatile addition to any dinner table.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze the rolls by placing them in a freezer bag. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight as per the recipe. This not only saves time but also enhances the flavor of the rolls. Just remember to let the dough come to room temperature before baking for best results.
What can I use if I don’t have self-rising flour?
If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can substitute it by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will give you a similar rise and texture in your rolls.
How can I tell when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they turn a golden brown color on top. You can also tap the bottom of a roll; if it sounds hollow, it's a good indication that they are fully cooked. Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking to avoid over-browning.
