Sour Cream Rolls

If you want an quick, easy roll recipe, you need to try this recipe. I've been making these for a couple of years now. They always turn out the same, light and fluffy. They are great with a bowl of soup or a great addition to a roast and mashed potatoes. 

Sour Cream Rolls

 They make about a dozen.

2 1/2 to 3 cups flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup water

3 tablespoons butter

1 egg

In your mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups four, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the sourcream, water and 2 tablespoon butter to 120-130 degrees (slight simmer); add to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add the egg, and 1/2 cup flour, beat for about 2 more minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter, knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 mintues. Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise till double in size. It's about an hour.

Punch the dough down and return to a lightly floured surface. Divide into 12 pieces. Form into balls and place in a lightly greased 13 x 9 pan. Cover and let rise until double in size again, about 30 mintues.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. Melt remaining butter and brush over the top of the rolls. Remove from pan and let cool.
