Find the 4-Leaf Clover Rolls image

These taste just like the clover leaf rolls that my mother used to make. I found this in a British recipe book called 500 Fabulous Cakes and Bakes. I like the idea of making a few of the rolls 4-leaf clovers. Who will be the one or two that get lucky. :)

Time 3h30m

Yield 24 rolls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons superfine sugar (caster sugar)
4 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons dry active yeast
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups flour, plus a bit extra if needed
2 tablespoons butter, melted for brushing
shortening, for lining bowl and pans

Steps:

  • Warm the milk until lukewarm.
  • In a large bowl pour in the lukewarm milk, stir in sugar, the 4 tablespoons of softened butter and the yeast. Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Add eggs and salt to the mixture.
  • Stir in 4 cups of flour a little at a time adding more if needed to get a rough dough texture.
  • Knead dough until smooth (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Place the dough into a clean bowl coated with shortening; cover with tea towel and let sit in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 1/2 hours).
  • Coat 2 muffin pans with shortening.
  • Punch down raised dough and roll into balls, sized to fit 3 into each cup in the pan. Make a few to fit four balls in the pan for the 4-leaf clovers.
  • Cover the pans with a tea towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F; brush the rolls with the melted butter and bake about 20 minutes until lightly browned.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
