Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and stir.
- Add sugar, oil or melted margarine, beaten egg, and self-rising flour to the yeast mixture.
- Mix with a spoon until well combined.
- Drop the dough into greased muffin tins.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 18 to 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, ensure your water is warm but not too hot, as high temperatures can kill the yeast. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. For a twist, consider adding herbs or cheese to the dough for flavor variations. These rolls are reminiscent of the lightness found in recipes like Blackberry Muffins.
Serving Suggestions
Spoon rolls make a wonderful addition to any meal, especially when served alongside soups or salads. They pair beautifully with dishes like Dream Whip Pecan Pie for dessert or can be enjoyed as a snack with butter and jam. Consider serving them warm for the best experience, and don’t forget to explore other American recipes for more meal ideas.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover spoon rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through, maintaining their soft texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for dry yeast in this recipe. Just dissolve it in warm water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy before mixing with the other ingredients.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, you can gradually add a bit more self-rising flour until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, as it can make the rolls dense.
Can I add flavors or mix-ins to the dough?
Absolutely! You can customize your spoon rolls by adding ingredients like grated cheese, herbs, or even chopped olives. Just mix them in when you combine the wet and dry ingredients for a delicious twist.
