How to Make Batter Rolls

  1. Heat 1 cup of milk in a microwave-safe 2-cup measuring cup for 2-3 minutes, until scalded (but not boiling).
  2. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter to the warm milk. Stir until butter is melted and sugar and salt are dissolved.
  3. In a large 2-quart bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) and 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast.
  4. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  5. Add the warm milk mixture, 1 large egg, and 2 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture.
  6. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, until smooth.
  7. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour (about 1-1 1/2 cups) to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Do not overmix.
  8. Lightly grease the large bowl. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place (75-85°F) for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
  9. Gently punch down the dough to release the air.
  10. Shape the dough into 24 equal-sized rolls.
  11. Place rolls in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan or jelly roll pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  12. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  13. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
