Soft, fluffy yeast rolls with a slight sweetness, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish. Easy to make and versatile for many meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve yeast in 2 cups of warm water.
- Mix the yeast mixture with self-rising flour, sugar, oil, and beaten egg until well combined.
- Spoon the batter into greased muffin pans, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Store remaining batter in the refrigerator, covered.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider adding an extra egg to the batter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt. Experiment with different oils like olive or melted coconut oil for added flavor. These rolls are versatile and can be sweetened further with a touch of honey for a different twist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use active dry yeast instead of packaged yeast?
Yes, you can substitute active dry yeast for instant yeast. Just make sure to activate it in warm water for about 5-10 minutes before adding it to the dry ingredients. This ensures that the yeast is alive and ready to help the rolls rise properly.
What can I do if the batter is too thick?
If your batter turns out too thick, you can add a little more warm water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a more pourable consistency. Be careful not to add too much at once; you want the batter to be thick but still able to be spooned into the muffin pans.
How can I make these rolls sweeter?
To enhance the sweetness of the rolls, you can increase the sugar in the recipe or add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the batter. Additionally, consider sprinkling some cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet, crunchy finish.
