Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water; set aside.
- Combine milk and self-rising flour, mixing well.
- Add yeast mixture, sugar, shortening, hot water, and remaining ingredients; mix thoroughly.
- Leave in the mixing bowl to rise until doubled in bulk.
- Roll out like biscuit dough, shape into rolls.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Use vegetable oil if you need a substitute for shortening. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add a little more flour until it reaches the right consistency.
Serving Suggestions
These quick rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a side with soups and stews. Serve them warm with butter or jam for a delightful treat. They pair beautifully with Hot Milk Sponge Cake(A Moist And Easy Cake To Make.) for a sweet touch after a savory meal. Try them alongside a hearty salad for a well-rounded meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, simply warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes until heated through, ensuring they stay soft and fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of packaged yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for packaged yeast. Just activate it in warm water with a little sugar for about 5-10 minutes before adding it to your mixture, ensuring it's bubbly and frothy. This helps to ensure that your rolls rise properly.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough isn't rising, it may be due to inactive yeast or cold temperatures. Ensure your yeast is fresh and check that your kitchen is warm enough for rising. You can place the bowl in a warm spot or near a preheated oven to encourage rising.
How can I make these rolls more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor of your rolls, consider adding herbs or spices like garlic powder, rosemary, or thyme to the dough. You can also mix in shredded cheese or diced jalapeños for a savory twist, making them a delightful addition to any meal.
