Provided by HyzQueen

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

For the Butter Rolls
2 Cups Self Rising Flour
1/2 Cup Shortening
1/2 Cup Milk
1 stick (1/2 Cup) Butter, softened (course you can use margarine, don't make no special trips to the store!)
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Milk Sauce
2 Cups milk
2/3 Cups Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

1.Cut shortening into flour really well with a fork. Stir in milk. 2.On a floured surface, dump out dough and press together with your hands to form a ball. 3.Roll out into a rectangle (about 7×10 in size). Spread softened butter over dough and then sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon over top. Roll it up like a jelly roll and press it together lightly. 4.Cut into nine slices about one inch thick each. Place into a lightly greased 8×8 baking dish. 5.In medium sauce pot, combine all milk sauce ingredients. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to bubble lightly. Pour over rolls in pan. 6.Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until rolls are lightly browned on top. 7.Allow to sit for a few minutes once it is done for the rolls to soak up more sauce. After you put each roll on a plate, spoon more sauce over it.

Tips:

Use unsalted butter. This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the recipe and prevent the rolls from becoming too salty.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar and eggs more easily and result in a smoother batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the rolls tough.
Let the rolls rise in a warm place. This will help them to rise properly and become light and fluffy.
Bake the rolls until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
