Susan's Rolls are a delightfully soft and fluffy bread that pairs wonderfully with any meal. The combination of Crisco and sugar adds a subtle sweetness, while the yeast creates a light texture. Perfect for family gatherings or a cozy dinner, these rolls will surely impress your guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Crisco, sugar, and salt together in a bowl.
- Pour 1/2 cup boiling water over the mixture and stir until dissolved.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, ensure your Crisco is softened before mixing. If you don't have bread flour, all-purpose flour can be a suitable substitute, but may yield a slightly different texture. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or spices to the dough. If you enjoy baking, try pairing these rolls with Zucchini Pineapple Bread for a delightful meal.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect as a side for soups, salads, or main courses. For a delightful brunch, serve them with butter and a fruit spread. They also pair beautifully with Strawberry Jello Dessert for a sweet finish. Consider adding a fresh salad or a bowl of soup for a complete meal experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 15-20 seconds until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fat instead of Crisco?
Yes, you can substitute unsalted butter or vegetable oil for Crisco. Butter will add a richer flavor, while oil will keep the rolls moist. Just use the same amount as specified in the recipe.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try adding a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a workable consistency. Be careful not to add too much, as it can make the rolls dense.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and let it rise, then refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just let it come to room temperature before shaping and baking, ensuring a fresh, warm roll when you're ready.
