BUTTER ROLLS, OLD SCHOOL



Butter Rolls, Old School image

This is the recipe that my grandma and my mother would make when we all had a craving for sweet and butter all rolled in to one. It is my favorite quicky dessert. Enjoy!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

ROLLS
2 can(s) canned buttermilk biscuits(not flaky biscuits)
16 pinch sugar
16 tsp butter, softened (margerine is ok too)
SAUCE
2 c milk
1/3 c sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp cornstarch

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!!

OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN BUTTER ROLLS



Old-Fashioned Southern Butter Rolls image

This is a very old recipe. I've read that butter rolls may have originally come about as a way for Southern cooks to use up biscuit dough scraps. Whatever the history behind this old-timey treat, it's one of my favorite comfort foods. Try adding finely chopped apple to the filling.

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup butter, softened (can use less)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups milk
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease a large baking dish; set aside.
  • 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.
