Whizzer Rolls
Whizzer Rolls are soft, fluffy yeast rolls with a hint of sweetness, perfect for breakfast or as a side, appealing to bread lovers and those seeking homemade baked goods.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water.
- Pour scalded milk over shortening, salt, and sugar; let cool.
- Add the dissolved yeast and beaten eggs to the mixture.
- Gradually add flour and beat vigorously until smooth.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
- Stir the dough and spoon into greased muffin tins.
- Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk instead of just lukewarm milk. If you don’t have shortening, unsalted butter can be a great substitute. Ensure the yeast is active by testing it in warm water with a pinch of sugar beforehand. When mixing the flour, avoid overbeating to keep the rolls tender. These Whizzer Rolls are perfect alongside American recipes like Zucchini And Egg On Rolls.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious rolls warm, brushed with melted butter, as a side to your favorite dishes. They pair wonderfully with soups or salads, especially a fresh Lime Luncheon Salad. For an easy breakfast option, enjoy them with jam or honey. You can also serve them with a cream pie for a delightful dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Whizzer Rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast in place of active dry yeast. Use the same amount and skip the step of dissolving it in water; simply mix it directly with the dry ingredients. This will save you a bit of time and still yield fluffy rolls.
What if I don’t have muffin tins?
If you don't have muffin tins, you can shape the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Just ensure to space them out so they have room to rise and expand as they bake.
How can I make these rolls healthier?
To make these rolls healthier, consider substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber. You can also reduce the sugar slightly or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup to maintain moisture without refining sugars.
