company rolls - easy

[Wise]

Ann, we really liked your company rolls. They really are very much like a biscuit, but "roll"ish also. Very good! We just ate some.

 

[hensylee]

Glad you liked them, Wise. Since your family isn't large, you can freeze some, keep some in fridge and reheat.

Hensylee,

My wife wants to know why you put yeast in self rising flour.

 

[hensylee]

they look like rolls but taste like a cross between a biscuit & a roll. The rising is immediate - no kneading nor waiting for the dough to rise. Just mix and put in muffin tins and bake. As you can see, those who made them seem to love them.

The yeast makes extra rise along with the self rising flour and gives a different texture than a biscuit. Ergo, a roll.

Me must try. Me roll freak.

Thanks, Love em! Have made them 4 times now

I brewed up a batch last night, very good and easy as easy gets to make. Between a roll and a biscuit.

Ross you need to sticky this thread- cuz I keep forgetting to write down the recipe to make them. Drats I was just at the store too. We're having Chicken Stew tonight and these rolls would have been perfect!

My girls and I just made a very good variation on these rolls. We added 1/2c extra sugar and about 2T cinnamon. Then just before baking we sprinkled them with a little cinnamon sugar. My youngest told me both recipies were "keepers" meaning she wants me to keep them!

 

[Ross]

Hey hensylee, you got a recipe to turn these into full blown rolls?

 

[hensylee]

wsith this recipe, Ross, you get what you got. For full blown rolls, you have to have a different recipe, let it rise, knead it, bake it. All day job.

Swim Mon, the cinnamon sounds really good and I bet kids would like it at any time of the day - breakfast, snack, etc.

sorry for misspelled wordws - using a laptop. hard to type on.

Ann,

I made a batch and the flavor was really great. However, they were a little "doughy" in the center.

Any thoughts on what I might have done wrong?

The only thing comes to mind is not done enough. They are kick butt when done. Maybe too large of rolls? Oh yeah, did you use self rising flour?

 

[geebee]

I used self-rising flour but I used the jarred yeast instead of packet so maybe I used the wrong amount.

I guess I will buy some packets and see if there is a difference.

1/2 cup in addition to the 1/4 cup - or 1/2 cup total?

they need a bit more time in the oven. Ever check your temperature to be sure it actually is what you set it on? Get one of those temp gauges that you hang on an oven shelf, set your oven to what your recipe calls for, let it get hot and then check the gauge to be sure the oven temp is right. Also, the size of the muffin (as Ross said) might matter. Mine is average size.

I have had pound cakes come out with a bit of gumminess and it's because I should have baked a little longer.

try sticking a toothpick in the center and then see if it comes out clean. If so, then they are done.

I put in a scant 1/2 c extra but it would all depend how sweet you want them. They definately tasted like cinnamon rolls! I was going to try a little less sugar next time.
