Ingredients
Instructions
- Break the egg into a well-greased bowl.
- Melt the shortening in boiling water; allow it to cool slightly.
- Measure flour and scant 1/3 cup sugar into a sifter.
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Beat the egg in the bowl and add the melted shortening and dissolved yeast.
- Add the sifted ingredients and stir only until mixed.
- The dough will be moist and soft.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour.
- Roll out the dough to 1/2-inch thickness on a floured surface; cut into rolls using a flour-dipped cutter.
- Brush melted butter on each roll, fold in half, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 2 hours.
- Bake at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes depending on size.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal texture, ensure your boiling water is hot enough to melt the shortening completely. If you don't have shortening, unsalted butter is a suitable substitute. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough. Remember to sift the flour and sugar together to avoid lumps, ensuring a light and airy roll.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls make a delightful addition to any meal, especially alongside hearty dishes like Cheese And Spaghetti Casserole or Vegetarian Baked Beans. Serve them warm with butter, or use them to soak up sauces. They also pair beautifully with soups and stews, adding a comforting touch to your dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator, then warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it overnight. This allows the flavors to develop. When ready to bake, simply roll out the dough, cut into rolls, and let them rise before baking. This method enhances their taste and texture.
What should I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels overly sticky, lightly flour your hands and work surface while shaping the rolls. Avoid adding too much flour, as it can make the rolls dense. Instead, ensure your work area is well-floured to manage the moisture more effectively.
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. There’s no need to dissolve instant yeast in water; simply mix it directly with the dry ingredients. This will save you time and still yield deliciously fluffy rolls.
