Yeast Rolls And Butterscotch Rolls
Soft, fluffy yeast rolls with a hint of sweetness and rich butterscotch flavor, perfect for breakfast or special occasions, appealing to both casual and gourmet palates.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine milk, shortening, sugar, and salt in a saucepan and heat until scalded.
- Cool the mixture to lukewarm.
- Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water and add to the cooled mixture.
- Add beaten egg and gradually stir in flour to form a soft dough.
- Beat the dough vigorously to develop gluten.
- Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using whole milk instead of low-fat. If you don't have shortening, unsalted butter can be a suitable substitute. Make sure the milk is heated properly; too hot can kill the yeast. For faster rising, place the dough in a warm, draft-free area. If you prefer a sweeter roll, adding a touch more sugar can enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls are perfect for breakfast or as a side dish with dinner. Serve them warm with additional melted butter or alongside honey for a delightful touch. They pair beautifully with Aunt Ritchie'S Zucchini or can be enjoyed as a sweet treat with a cup of tea or coffee.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store leftover 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, wrap in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through, ensuring they stay soft.

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. Simply skip the step of dissolving it in water, and mix it directly with the dry ingredients. This will save you some time while still yielding delicious rolls.
How can I make these rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough the night before and let it rise in the refrigerator. The next day, let it come to room temperature before shaping and allowing it to rise again. This method helps develop flavor and saves time on the day you plan to serve them.
What should I do if my dough doesn't rise?
If your dough doesn't rise, it could be due to inactive yeast. Ensure your milk is lukewarm, not too hot, when you add the yeast. Also, check the expiration date on your yeast. If it still doesn’t rise, try placing it in a warmer location to encourage fermentation.
