Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the self-rising flour and shortening until crumbly.
- Add milk to form a soft dough.
- Roll out the dough into a thin oval shape.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider substituting half of the shortening with unsalted butter. If you don’t have self-rising flour, mix all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. This Vanilla Butter Roll is great for breakfast or dessert and pairs beautifully with Claire And Emily'S Sliced Baked Potatoes.

Serve the Vanilla Butter Roll warm or at room temperature, drizzled with a simple glaze or accompanied by fresh fruit. It pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat. For an added touch, enjoy it alongside a slice of Sour Cream Bundt Cake for a delightful dessert platter.
