Spoon Rolls

My wonderful cousin, Jane, gave me this recipe. This is a great recipe because the dough will keep for several days in and airtight container in the fridge. You can take out enough to make a few rolls for dinner each night. Just imagine having fresh rolls each evening for a week. Yum!

SPOON ROLLS

1 pkg. dry yeast
2 cups warm water
1 1/2 sticks melted margarine or butter
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups self-rising flour

Place yeast in two cups warm water and mix until yeast dissolves. Melt butter and cream with sugar in a large bowl; add beaten egg. Pour in dissolved years mixture. Add flour and stir until mixed well. The batter will be a little lumpy. Place in an airtight bowl in the refrigerator. To bake, drop by spoonfuls onto into well-greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes. This dough will keep for a few days in an airtight container in the fridge.

1/4 cup warm water
3/4 cup milk
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon salt

Dissolve the yeast in the water. Mix with other ingredients until it forms a ball. Let it rise for two hours. Divide into four parts. Roll each part out to 1/4 inch thick and cut into triangles.

Zest of one orange
3 Tablespoons sugar

Mix the orange zest and sugar. Melt butter. Dip each rectangle into melted butter and then into the orange/sugar mix and roll up from the wide end first. Let rise. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes.
