Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package yeast
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Mix the water, margarine, sugar, salt, and yeast until combined and let it rise until doubled in bulk.
  2. Stir down the dough and spoon it into buttered muffin tins.
  3. Let the dough rise until it reaches almost the top of the pans.
  4. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For a richer flavor, consider using butter instead of margarine. To ensure the rolls are light and fluffy, make sure your yeast is fresh and properly activated. If you don't have muffin tins, you can also use a baking dish to shape the rolls. For added flavor, try mixing in herbs or garlic powder into the dough before rising.

Serving Suggestions

These feather rolls are perfect for serving alongside soups or salads, making them a great complement to dishes like Mrs. Ball'S Corn Pudding. They can also be enjoyed with butter or your favorite jam for breakfast. Consider pairing them with a hearty stew for a comforting meal.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply pop 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 ahead of time and refrigerate it after the first rise. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before spooning it into the muffin tins for the second rise.

What should I do if my rolls don't rise?

If your rolls don't rise, it may be due to inactive yeast. Ensure that your yeast is fresh and check the temperature of your water; it should be warm but not hot, ideally around 110°F (43°C).

Can I use whole wheat flour instead?

Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but the texture may be denser. You may need to add a little more water to achieve the right consistency, as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.
