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.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter, softened (can use less)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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.

Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup milk
½ cup shortening
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup cold water
1 egg
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
5 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your rolls the best flavor. If possible, use locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast is an important step that helps to ensure that your rolls will rise properly. To proof the yeast, dissolve it in warm water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
  • Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten in the flour, which makes the rolls chewy. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise: After kneading the dough, let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce carbon dioxide gas, which will cause the rolls to rise.
  • Bake the rolls at a high temperature: Baking the rolls at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust. Bake the rolls at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
