OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN BUTTER ROLLS

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.

Roll out pastry into a large rectangle. Spread the butter evenly over the pastry, then sprinkle on 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Roll up the dough jelly roll style and pinch to seal. Cut into 12 even slices. Place the rolls in the prepared pan.
• In a small saucepan, heat milk, 2/3 cup sugar and vanilla until mixture begins to bubble. Pour milk mixture over rolls.
• Bake in preheated oven until brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Cut the shortening into the flour really well with a fork. Stir in the milk.
• On a floured surface, dump out the dough and press together with your hands to form a ball.
• Roll out into a rectangle (about 7×10 in size). Spread softened butter over dough and then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top. Roll it up like a jelly roll and press it together lightly.
• Cut into nine slices about one inch thick each. Place into a lightly greased 8×8 baking dish.
• In a medium saucepan, combine all of the milk sauce ingredients. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to bubble lightly. Pour over the rolls in the pan.
• Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown on top.
• Allow them to sit for a few minutes once done so the rolls soak up more sauce. After you put each roll on a plate, spoon more sauce over it.

GRANDMA RITA'S SOFT BUTTER ROLLS

Steps:

• Pour milk into a glass 2-cup measuring cup and heat in the microwave until it starts to boil and climb the sides, about 1 minute. Add butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt to the scalded milk; set aside to cool until it gets below 110 degrees F (45 degrees C).
• Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water in a large bowl. Let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 10 minutes.
• Pour milk mixture into the yeast mixture; add 2 cups bread flour and egg. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the dough is smooth and a little tacky.
• Turn dough out onto a sheet of flour-dusted waxed paper and lightly knead to pull dough together; shape into a ball. Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide dough into thirds. Break each third into six evenly sized balls and arrange onto prepared baking sheet. Cover balls with a towel to rise further for another 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

BUTTER ROLLS RECIPE - (3.9/5)

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.

BUTTER ROLLS, OLD SCHOOL

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to specifications on biscuit pack, usually 325-350 degree's. Butter bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish.
• 2. Open biscuits, roll out a biscuit to a 3" round, add 1 teaspoon of butter to the center and then add sugar. I use a teaspoon and sprinkle sugar over the butter to cover it, I do not use a whole teaspoon of sugar. Fold biscuit in half, and seal edges, you will have a bumpy half moon shape. If you want to make it decorative you can pinch together like a pie crust. The idea is to seal the butter and sugar inside. Place in baking dish. Repeat for all remaining biscuits.
• 3. Once you have all of your rolls made, place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. While they are baking you can mix up the sauce. To keep cornstarch from lumping up, I mix cornstarch with the sugar, then I add it to the sauce, stir sauce until sugar is dissolved, and set aside. Once done, remove rolls from oven, do not turn off the oven. Stir sauce one last time and then pour over rolls. Place rolls back in the oven and bake until sauce is bubbling and thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
• 4. You can serve warm or let cool before serving. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or your favorite ice cream, or serve as is. Yummy to my taste buds, :D! Enjoy!
• 5. **NOTE** If you are making this dish for only 2, you can use just one can of biscuits and cut sauce ingredients in half, it will still be delicious. I have also had people ask about making this recipe without the sugar. It might be possible to substitute sugar for splenda. You might have to use the splenda that is measured same as cup of sugar. Either way, if anyone tries it, let me know how it turns out. :D Enjoy!!! Enjoy!!
