Ingredients

  • 1 lb oleo, melted
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 large cake yeast, crumbled
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla
  • 6 beaten eggs
  • 7 to 8 cups flour

Instructions

  1. Use your favorite walnut filling in your Little Nut Rolls.
  2. Prepare the yeast mixture by crumbling the cake yeast into the evaporated milk and letting it dissolve.
  3. Combine melted oleo, vanilla, beaten eggs, and the yeast mixture in a large bowl.
  4. Gradually add flour to the mixture, kneading until a soft dough forms.
  5. Allow the dough to rise until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  6. Divide the dough and roll out into rectangles.
  7. Spread walnut filling evenly over the dough rectangles.
  8. Roll up each rectangle and cut into individual pieces.
  9. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a lighter texture, consider using half butter and half oleo. If you don't have cake yeast, you can substitute with 2 packets of active dry yeast. Make sure to let the dough rise in a warm area to ensure it doubles in size effectively. Using a nut-filled mixture like the one found in traditional American recipes can enhance flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Little Nut Rolls warm, dusted with powdered sugar for a sweet touch. They pair beautifully with Tracey And John'S Homemade Potato Soup for a delightful meal. Consider a side of fruit or a light salad to balance the richness of the rolls. Enjoy them with coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon snack.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover Little Nut Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds, but be mindful to not overheat as they can become tough.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different types of nuts for the filling?

Absolutely! While walnuts are traditional, you can use pecans, almonds, or even a mix of nuts for a unique flavor profile. Just ensure that the nuts are finely chopped to make spreading easier.

How can I tell when the rolls are baked properly?

The rolls should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If you have a kitchen thermometer, the internal temperature should reach about 190°F (88°C) for perfectly baked rolls.

What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?

If your dough doesn't rise, it might be due to inactive yeast. Ensure your yeast is fresh and the milk is warm, not hot, when mixing. If the dough still fails to rise, consider moving it to a warmer spot or using a proofing method, like placing it in an oven with the light on.
