Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it stand until foamy.
- In a large bowl, stir together the dissolved yeast, oil, sugar, beaten egg, and self-rising flour until well combined.
- Spoon the batter into greased muffin pans, filling each cup.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve warm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your water is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt per cup. These rolls can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to a week.
Serving Suggestions
These Spoon Refrigerator Rolls are perfect as a side to hearty dishes like soups or stews. They also pair beautifully with Sweet Potato Pie (Yields One 9-Inch Pie) for a comforting meal. Try serving them with honey or butter for added flavor, or use them to make mini sandwiches with your favorite fillings.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, simply place them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 15-20 seconds for a quick option.
