Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg, beaten
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until fully combined ensuring even distribution of leavening agents and seasoning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, melted unsalted butter, and beaten egg. If you wish to add a subtle sweetness, mix in the honey or maple syrup with these wet ingredients now.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spoon or spatula until just combined. The dough should be slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing as it can make the rolls tough.
- Form the Rolls: Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of dough (about 1-2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls. Place the rolls close together in the prepared baking dish to encourage soft sides.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls develop a beautiful golden brown color on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, brush the tops with a little melted butter for added flavor and shine. Serve warm for best texture and taste.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the rolls tender and fluffy.
- Placing the rolls close together in the baking dish helps create soft sides.
- The optional honey or maple syrup adds a pleasant subtle sweetness if desired.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Brush with melted butter after baking for extra richness and shine.
