Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients and let stand about 1 hour.
- Be sure to mix yeast in lukewarm water before adding to flour and cake mix.
- Punch down the dough and shape into rolls.
- Let the rolls rise for about another hour.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, make sure to activate the yeast in lukewarm water before mixing it with the dry ingredients. If you find the dough too sticky, you can add a bit more flour gradually until you achieve the right consistency. To add a twist, consider folding in some cinnamon or nutmeg for an aromatic flavor. You can also substitute the yellow cake mix with a vanilla or lemon-flavored mix for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions
These sweet rolls make a delightful breakfast or snack on their own, but they also pair beautifully with Wedding Punch for a festive occasion. Serve them warm with butter or a drizzle of honey. They can also be enjoyed with a side of Easy Crisp Sweet Dill Pickles for a sweet and savory contrast. Consider adding a fruit preserve like Cherry Berry Jam for an extra special touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. For reheating, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for plain flour, but keep in mind that it may change the texture and flavor slightly. Whole wheat flour tends to make baked goods denser. To balance this, you might want to add a little extra liquid or a touch of honey to enhance sweetness.
How can I tell if the dough has risen properly?
The dough is ready when it has doubled in size and feels puffy to the touch. You can also do the 'poke test': gently poke the dough, and if the indentation remains, it has risen sufficiently. If it springs back, give it more time to rise.
What can I do if the rolls turn out too dry?
If your rolls are dry, it could be due to overbaking or not enough moisture in the dough. To prevent this, ensure you're measuring ingredients accurately and keep an eye on the rolls while baking. You can also brush the rolls with melted butter immediately after baking to add moisture and flavor.
