Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the boiling water over the Spry and let it cool.
- Combine the dry yeast, sugar, salt, and flour in a bowl.
- Add the beaten egg to the cooled water mixture.
- Mix the water mixture into the flour mixture.
- Chill the dough overnight.
- Two to three hours before using, break off small pieces of dough.
- Dip each piece into melted butter, then into cinnamon and sugar, adding nutmeats if desired.
- Let the pieces rise at room temperature until doubled in size.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra fluffy texture, ensure the water is not too hot when mixing with the Spry, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. If you don't have Spry, use any vegetable shortening. You can also substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. Chilling the dough overnight enhances the flavor, so don’t skip that step.
Serving Suggestions
These Pully Rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a snack. Serve them warm with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top.
