Ingredients
For the Butter Rolls
- 2 Cups Self Rising Flour
- ½ Cup Shortening
- 1 Cup Milk
- 1 stick (1/2 Cup) Butter, softened (course you can use margarine, don’t make no special trips to the store!)
- ¼ Cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Milk Sauce
- 2 Cups milk
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 ts vanilla
- 1ts nutmeg
Instructions
- Cut shortening into flour really well with a fork. Stir in milk.
- On a floured surface, dump out 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 ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon over 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 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.
- Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until rolls are lightly browned on top.
- 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.
