This recipe from Betty Crocker Perfect Baking Every Time is a keeper - quick, unfussy - hot homemade yeast rolls with a nice texture and taste for only 52¢ a dozen. I wouldn’t change a thing! I think this would be an excellent recipe for anyone who hasn’t tried yeast baking yet.
I liked the fact that I only had to scoop the batter into muffin cups instead of getting out a cutting board and shaping the rolls. It makes them much easier if you are making them in a hurry - less fuss and cleanup too. I used my Kitchenaid for the initial mixing and rising, and my muffin scoop to portion the batter.
Double Quick Dinner Rolls
2 ¼ Cups Flour, All-purpose -- 10 1/8 ounces
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Package Instant Yeast (2 tsp)
1 Cup Water -- 120-130°
2 Tablespoons Shortening or butter
1 Large Egg
Mix 1 1/4 cups of flour, the sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Add the water, shortening and egg; beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape batter from sides of bowl.
Cover and let rise in a warm place about 10 minutes.
Grease 12 medium muffin cups, 2 1/2 x 1 1/4". Stir down batter by beating 25 strokes.
Spoon into muffin cups. Let rise 10-15 minutes or until batter rounds over tops of cups.
Heat oven to 400°. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Yum! These look great! I tend to do biscuits for dinner, but they always have a lot of butter in them. This seems like a good alternative! I would love to have you link up at what i am eating http://www.townsend-house.com/2013/02/what-i-am-eating-14.html
ReplyDeleteI've made bread for years but I get lazy making it now because of the time involved...so a quick recipe with easy ingredients sounds like a winner to me! Thanks for posting...I'll be pinning!

Hope to see you there!
The muffin tin is a great idea! that cuts a whole lot of work out of making dinner rolls. I'm going to have to try that the next time I bake.

Mmmm--these were yummy! Made them exactly as written. Except I had a half-cup of plain yogurt languishing in the fridge--so in it went! I love being able to both make something delicious for my family and not let food go to waste.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them. I was thinking I need to make some of these this week too...they are so easy! And when they call them double-quick they are so right.
DeleteI was gifted a Betty Crocker Cookbook in 1967. Made them every year since with huge raves on results. Everyone likes them. Tried & true for 55 yrs!
