Mama Hara'S Working Girl Batter Rolls
Mama Hara's Working Girl Batter Rolls are soft, fluffy rolls made with self-rising flour and yeast, perfect for breakfast or snack, appealing to bread lovers seeking quick homemade treats.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Mix all other ingredients well with the yeast mixture.
- Spoon batter into greased muffin tins.
- Bake at 350°F until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using bread flour instead of self-rising flour. Ensure your water is warm but not hot, as extreme heat can kill the yeast. You can substitute shortening with butter for a richer flavor. This batter is versatile; feel free to add herbs or spices to enhance the taste, similar to variations you might find in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are best served warm right out of the oven. They pair wonderfully with soups and stews, making them a great companion to a hearty vegetable soup or a classic Cheese And Tomato Pie. For a sweet treat, serve them with a smear of butter and a drizzle of honey.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped in plastic and then in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be aware that it may not rise as much when baked, so it’s best to bake it fresh if possible.
What can I use instead of shortening?
Butter or coconut oil can be used as a substitute for shortening. Both will add a different flavor and texture to the rolls, with butter giving a richer taste and coconut oil offering a slight sweetness.
How do I know when the rolls are done baking?
The rolls are done when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you gently tap the top, it should sound hollow, indicating they are fully baked.
