Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together sugar, shortening, egg, water, cold water, flour, yeast, boiling water, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
- In the morning, the dough should have risen.
- Remove plastic wrap and spoon the sticky dough into muffin pans, spraying with Pam.
- Let the dough rise in the muffin tins for 3 hours.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter instead of shortening. You can also substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added nutrition. If you prefer a sweeter roll, add a couple of tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Make sure your yeast is fresh for optimal rise. If you want a more complex flavor, try adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect as a side for soups and salads, or serve them warm with butter for a delightful snack. They pair beautifully with Thanksgiving Treats or can be enjoyed alongside a hearty stew. Consider serving them with a sweet spread, like Cherry Flavored Nectar Syrup, for a delicious breakfast option.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. This will help maintain their texture and freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time and freeze it?
Yes, you can freeze the dough after mixing it. Shape the rolls and place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to bake, thaw them in the fridge overnight and let them rise in the muffin pans before baking.
What can I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn’t rise, check the yeast's expiration date and ensure it was stored properly. A warm environment is essential for rising, so try placing the bowl in a warm spot or using a proofing setting on your oven. If all else fails, you may need to start over with fresh ingredients.
Can I add ingredients like cheese or herbs to the dough?
Absolutely! You can mix in shredded cheese, garlic, or fresh herbs to enhance the flavor of your rolls. Just be mindful of the total volume of ingredients so it doesn’t affect the dough's consistency. Experimenting with add-ins can make these rolls even more delicious!
