Ingredients

  • 1 c. White Lily Self Rising Flour
  • 1/3 c. mayonnaise
  • 1/2 c. sweet milk
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Mix well, then fill muffin pans 1/3 full.
  2. Bake at 400° until brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a fluffier texture, make sure to mix the ingredients until just combined; overmixing can lead to dense rolls. If you don't have sweet milk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with a teaspoon of sugar. These rolls are versatile and can be enhanced with herbs or cheese for extra flavor. They can also be enjoyed alongside a hearty dish like Cheeseburger Loaf.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these mayonnaise rolls warm as a side to soups or salads, or enjoy them as a light snack. They pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or can be served alongside savory dishes like Corn Pudding. For a unique twist, try topping them with a dollop of butter or your favorite jam.

Storage & Reheating

After baking, let the mayonnaise rolls cool completely. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to replicate the self-rising flour's effects. Typically, use about 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt for every cup of all-purpose flour.

What can I do if I don't have sweet milk?

If you lack sweet milk, simply mix regular milk with a teaspoon of sugar, or use buttermilk for a tangy flavor. Both alternatives will work well in this recipe, ensuring the rolls remain moist and flavorful.

Can I freeze mayonnaise rolls?

Yes, you can freeze the rolls. Once they've cooled, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, or place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
