Ingredients
Instructions
- Put flour in a large mixing bowl.
- Make a hole in the middle of the flour.
- Add shortening and buttermilk into the hole.
- Gradually mix with the flour until the dough becomes stiff.
- Roll out the dough thin.
- Cut circles out of the dough using a small saucer.
- Cut up 1/2 stick of butter or margarine and place a piece on each circle.

Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature to help the dough come together smoothly. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar. Make sure to roll the dough thin for a flaky texture, which pairs beautifully with Dieter'S Apple Cobbler as a dessert option.
Serving Suggestions
These butter rolls are delicious served warm with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. They make a great side for breakfast, especially alongside eggs or bacon. For dessert, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or as a sweet treat with Evie'S Candy Cake(Mama'S).
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover butter rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and slightly crisped. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use all-purpose flour instead of regular flour?
Yes, all-purpose flour works perfectly in this recipe. It provides the right texture and structure for the rolls. Just measure it correctly, as too much flour can make the dough dense.
What if I don’t have shortening?
If you don’t have shortening, you can substitute with an equal amount of unsalted butter or margarine. This will add a richer flavor to the rolls, but keep in mind it may slightly change the texture.
Can I freeze the butter rolls?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unbaked rolls by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet until solid, then transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, simply add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
