GRANDMOTHER'S OLD FASHIONED BUTTER ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 7x11 inch baking pan.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour and salt. Cut shortening in thoroughly with a pastry blender until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in water and press dough together with your hands. Roll out pastry into a large rectangle. Spread the butter evenly over the pastry, then sprinkle on 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Roll up the dough jelly roll style and pinch to seal. Cut into 12 even slices. Place the rolls in the prepared pan.
• In a small saucepan, heat milk, 2/3 cup sugar and vanilla until mixture begins to bubble. Pour milk mixture over rolls.
• Bake in preheated oven until brown, about 30 to 40 minutes.

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut shortening in until mixture looks like course crumbs. Add water, and stir just until combined. Use your hands to press dough together until it forms a ball.
• Turn out onto a floured surface, and roll dough out into a large rectangle. The dough should be rolled fairly thinly, like you would dough for cinnamon rolls. Spread butter evenly over the top, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg. Roll up tightly, and pinch ends to seal. Cut into 12 equal slices. Place cut side down in baking dish.
• In a saucepan, heat 2/3 cup sugar, milk, and vanilla until bubbles form. Remove from heat, and pour over top of rolls. Bake 30-40 minutes.
• *Note: These rolls can also be made without the milk sauce if you'd like, with a little milk or cream being poured over individual servings instead.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, cut the shortening into the flour using a pastry blender or two forks. The goal is to get the shortening cut into tiny pea-size pieces.
• Add the water and stir until combined. Use your hands to gently knead the dough until it holds together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll the dough into a thin rectangle that is about 10x16-inches. Spread the soft butter to cover the dough then sprinkle with the sugar and nutmeg (or cinnamon). Carefully and tightly roll the dough up jelly roll style and pinch to seal the long edge. Cut the dough into 12 even rolls and place them into the prepared dish.

• In a different bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce and then pour it over the batter. Again, DO NOT MIX.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream!

BUTTER ROLLS, OLD SCHOOL

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to specifications on biscuit pack, usually 325-350 degree's. Butter bottom and sides of a 9x13 baking dish.
• 2. Open biscuits, roll out a biscuit to a 3" round, add 1 teaspoon of butter to the center and then add sugar. I use a teaspoon and sprinkle sugar over the butter to cover it, I do not use a whole teaspoon of sugar. Fold biscuit in half, and seal edges, you will have a bumpy half moon shape. If you want to make it decorative you can pinch together like a pie crust. The idea is to seal the butter and sugar inside. Place in baking dish. Repeat for all remaining biscuits.
• 3. Once you have all of your rolls made, place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. While they are baking you can mix up the sauce. To keep cornstarch from lumping up, I mix cornstarch with the sugar, then I add it to the sauce, stir sauce until sugar is dissolved, and set aside. Once done, remove rolls from oven, do not turn off the oven. Stir sauce one last time and then pour over rolls. Place rolls back in the oven and bake until sauce is bubbling and thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
• 4. You can serve warm or let cool before serving. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or your favorite ice cream, or serve as is. Yummy to my taste buds, :D! Enjoy!
• 5. **NOTE** If you are making this dish for only 2, you can use just one can of biscuits and cut sauce ingredients in half, it will still be delicious. I have also had people ask about making this recipe without the sugar. It might be possible to substitute sugar for splenda. You might have to use the splenda that is measured same as cup of sugar. Either way, if anyone tries it, let me know how it turns out. :D Enjoy!!! Enjoy!!
