Ingredients

  • 4 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 package yeast, dissolved in 2 cups warm water
  • pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup liquid shortening

Instructions

  1. Stir all ingredients together and spoon into a Pam-sprayed muffin tin.
  2. Bake at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions

For best results, ensure your yeast is fresh and properly activated in warm water. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour by adding 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt per cup. Using butter instead of liquid shortening can enhance flavor, though it may slightly alter the texture. Consider adding herbs or cheese for a twist.

Serving Suggestions

These quick rolls make a delightful addition to any meal, perfect for breakfast or as a side for dinner. Try serving them with butter, honey, or alongside a warm bowl of soup. They also pair beautifully with La Madeleine Pumpkin Pie for a sweet finish. For a vegetarian option, serve with a fresh Fruit Salad With Honey Lemon Dressing.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month. To reheat, simply place the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
