The main problem with making bread or rolls in general is that they take a long time to make. Â You need at least 6-8 hours of notice if you are going to make them. Â However, I was going through my old cookbooks and found an old Betty Crocker recipe for Double-Quick Dinner Rolls. Â So I had to try them. Â They were delicious and super fast. Â In and out in under an hour and a half. Â Makes 12 delicious rolls.
Super Quick Dinner Rolls – (from Betty Crocker)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbs sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (120-130 degrees)
- 1 tbs shortening
- 1 egg
Sift the flour.
Then add 1 1/4 cups flour, the sugar, salt and yeast into a large bowl.
Add the warm water, shortening and the egg.
Beat until smooth. Â I found that it never quite got as smooth as I was hoping for. Â This is just fine, my rolls turned out to be delicious.
Then stir in the remaining flour. Â Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled. Â It is noted that this is a wet batter more than a dough.
Grease 12 muffin cups. Â You could use cupcake liners, but there is no need. Â Then uncover the batter and beat it down by stirring about 25 times. Â Then spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Â I found an ice cream scoop worked best for this. Â It helped me portion the batter. Â Let the batter rise for 20-30 minutes, until the batter starts to round over the top of the muffin pan.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bake the muffin for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Â The cool slightly then remove them from the muffin pan.
These were super simple, super quick and super delicious. Â If you are looking for some quick rolls that take little to no effort, these are for you.
I made dinner the other night and wanted to eat while the rolls were hot. Â So I took some quick photos of the rolls in the pan and then ate dinner. Â When I came back to take a nice single photo of the rolls, they were all gone. Â Yep, Tucker (my dog) ate them all. Â Dana and I had 4 of the twelve. Â For that reason I do not have the best photos of the rolls. Â But take my word for it, they are delicious.
Now don't I feel lame for using Bisquick tonight…..no really. I really did. Shame.
