- Total Time: 1 hour (Prep: 40 minutes, Cook: 20 minutes)
- Yield: 1 dozen rolls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups self-rising flour
Instructions:
-
Combine Milk, Shortening, and Yeast:
In a mixing bowl, pour in the milk and add the shortening. Stir until the shortening begins to melt into the milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for a few minutes until the yeast activates, creating a foamy layer on top. -
-
Add Sugar, Salt, and Flour:
Once the yeast is activated, add the sugar and salt to the bowl. Gradually add in the self-rising flour, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. The dough should come together and pull away from the sides of the bowl. -
Roll Out and Cut:
On a lightly floured surface, turn out the dough and knead it gently for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds of dough and place them onto a greased baking pan, leaving a little space between each roll. -
Let Rise:
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and place them in a warm, draft-free area to rise for about 30 minutes. During this time, the rolls will puff up and double in size. -
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, uncover them and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown on top and cooked through. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or your favorite jam, and enjoy the fluffy goodness of these homemade yeast rolls!
