Nothing is better than eating a steaming hot yummy dinner roll. Would you agree?
There are a few times when my rolls totally flop…and they didn’t look good. After trying out a few recipes I hit this one that is spot on. Every time.
If you aren’t a fan of using shortening you can switch it out with butter. Either will work.
These aren’t too fussy to make. No watching, punching, and waiting here. This recipe is quick to make and a great one for dinner parties or just for any time!
Depending on how large you make your dough balls you will get over 24 rolls per batch.
