Honey Batter Rolls

  The Crisco Cooking cookbook has this to say about baking bread, “Bread baking is a joy not to be missed”. I must say, that when the recipe is as easy as this one, I think anyone can bake rolls and have the great smell and taste of fresh baked dinner rolls.

  Batter breads and rolls are not as smooth as kneaded bread, but taste just fine and are much easier for the beginner and someone in a hurry. These take about a hour and a half start to finish and taste like you spent much more time on them.

Honey Batter Rolls

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 package active dry yeast

1 teaspoon salt
