Steps:
- Warm the milk in a small saucepan until it bubbles, then remove from heat. Mix in the shortening and sugar; stir until melted. Add cold water and let cool until lukewarm.
- Pour milk mixture into a large bowl. Add egg and yeast; mix well. Beat in 3 cups of flour and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Sift in baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 1 cup flour. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Divide each piece in half and form into 24 rolls. Place the rounds in a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan or on lightly greased baking sheets. Cover the rolls with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN BUTTER ROLLS
This is a very old recipe. I've read that butter rolls may have originally come about as a way for Southern cooks to use up biscuit dough scraps. Whatever the history behind this old-timey treat, it's one of my favorite comfort foods. Try adding finely chopped apple to the filling.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Grease a large baking dish; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut shortening in until mixture looks like course crumbs. Add water, and stir just until combined. Use your hands to press dough together until it forms a ball.
- Turn out onto a floured surface, and roll dough out into a large rectangle. The dough should be rolled fairly thinly, like you would dough for cinnamon rolls. Spread butter evenly over the top, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Roll up tightly, and pinch ends to seal. Cut into 12 equal slices. Place cut side down in baking dish.
- In a saucepan, heat 2/3 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla until bubbles form. Remove from heat, and pour over top of rolls. Bake 30-40 minutes.
- *Note: These rolls can also be made without the milk sauce if you'd like, with a little milk or cream being poured over individual servings instead.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 7×11 casserole dish. Prepare sauce by combining milk, sugar and vanilla in a sauce pan and bring to slow boil. While this is boiling prepare the biscuits. Open canned biscuits. On a floured surface, roll out each biscuit until fairly flat and sprinkle with sugar and add small chips of butter and then roll or close the biscuit. Biscuits may also be sprinkled with cinnamon and/or nutmeg if desired. Place into casserole dish opens side down. When all of the biscuits have been placed in the casserole dish cover with the milk sauce. Bake 30 to 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality butter for the best flavor. If you don't have unsalted butter, you can use salted butter and omit the added salt in the recipe.
- Make sure the butter is very cold before you start working with it. This will help prevent the butter from melting into the dough and creating a greasy mess.
- Work quickly when you're assembling the rolls. The longer the butter sits at room temperature, the more likely it is to melt and make the dough difficult to work with.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- Don't over-knead the dough. Over-kneading will make the rolls tough.
- Let the rolls rise until they're double in size. This will help ensure that they're light and fluffy.
- Bake the rolls until they're golden brown. This will give them a delicious crust and a tender interior.
- Serve the rolls warm with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include butter, honey, and jam.
Conclusion:
These old-fashioned Southern butter rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With their soft and fluffy texture and buttery flavor, these rolls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a classic Southern recipe, give these butter rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
