Butterhorn Rolls with Michael's Home Cooking

This may be my favorite rolls. My mother's recipe for Butterhorn Rolls from the 1960's.
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1/2 cup shortening or butter or lard
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 packet yeast
1 teaspoon table salt
4 cups all purpose flour
1 stick of butter melted for brushing.
I have made these using one stick of butter instead of the shortening and they came out fine. Not a big difference in flavor, so either is fine. Lard would be fine to use as well.
Scald one cup of milk.
Then add your shortening and sugar.
Cool mixture to lukewarm.
Put your milk into a large bowl and add your three eggs and mix.
Add your yeast.
Add your salt and flour.
Mix until combined, there is no need to kneed the dough.
Cover and allow to rise in a warm place, about two to three hours.
Divide into 3 pieces.
Roll out each piece to 12 inches rounds.
Use melted butter to paint on the rounds.
Cut each round into 12 triangles.
Roll up each triangle starting at large end and place on a greased baking sheet.
Brush the rolls with melted butter.
Allow to rise till doubled, around 30 minutes in a warm place. I do not cover them.
Bake @ 350F for 10 minutes.
Allow to cool and freeze for up to 3 weeks.
You can freeze longer, but then put in a paper towel or two. The paper towels will keep most ice crystals from forming. It is a good thing to do when freezing any bread or buns.
When you want rolls with your dinner, get the rolls out of the freezer and you can allow to defrost for 30 minutes in the plastic bag. Then place on your baking sheet and allow to defrost for another 30 minutes.
Bake @ 350F for 5 minutes.
You will have fresh baked rolls with your dinner in just minutes.
You can also bake them without freezing them.
Bake @ 350 for 15 to 18 minutes, depending how hot your oven is.

Moms are the best, thank you!

[@brendamckitric4806]

Thank you Michael for being here for us! I had never made rolls before, I've always felt intimidated using yeast. I used the butter. and OMG.... Who doesn't jyst absolutely love butter.... I forgot to get a photo and my family devoured them. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

+Brenda McKitric What? You made these rolls? You know once you make them you realize that it is not all that difficult. It does take some time, but well worth the smiles on your family's faces. Thank you SO much! ~Michael

[@jessiewheat2815]

My sisters-in-law made big quantities of these for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I never dreamed I might try to make them. There is hope for me. Thank you.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you Jessie, you should try to make them! They're not hard to make, just takes some time.

[@dsb188]

I love hearing and seeing people make recipes from mom, dad, aunts etc. It holds a special place in your heart and it shows in the video! They look great!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you so very much!

[@1cobaltcrazy]

Thank You so much not only for a great recipe but for educating everyone about what to do afterwards. Like freezing them and how to thaw and reheat. No one ever does that so....thank you! So many people don't learn those little things because no one ever tells them!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

+1cobaltcrazy Thank you very much for your nice comment, I sure hope you try this! ~Michael

[@beccagore1601]

I found this recipe 2 years ago, and I still use it almost on a weekly basis. They have the perfect amount of sweetness, they are moist, and beautifully layered! Can't get enough of them!!!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you so much! I love that you can freeze them, then bake them for quick rolls. Thank you for being a subscriber too! ~Michael

[@croutoncrackerjacks]

These are some beautiful rolls! Ain't nothing beats homemade rolls! I remember having these when I was growing up and they are so good. These old time-y recipes are some of the best around!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you Jason! When my mother would make these, I was highly impressed.

[@ImaWarmFuzzy]

lathyrus sweetpea Once you have them made, you can bake 2 or 8 or 12 of them. Just what you need at the time. ~Michael

[@LathyrusFC]

***** Thanks so much!!!! :) Lathyrus

[@thebaldchef14]

I believe some old recipes become new again with time. Michael these rolls looked quite delicious and your mom's recipe should be cherished. Nice presentation and I'm sure a fine tasting dinner roll.

[@Cookingatjoyshouse]

I agree, these look great.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Yes, I fixed them for Turkey Day. Of course my mother does not remember them or much of anything anymore. I wish that she did.

[@Cookingatjoyshouse]

That's sad however, she was probably trying them for the first time... again. If you know what I mean.

[@thebaldchef14]

***** Michael the last video I put up was a old family favorite, and I asked my mom how she used to cook this recipe. Mom had no idea of what I was talking about and but my dad on the phone. I know how it feels brother.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

The Bald Chef Yes, it is an epidemic if you ask me.

[@LyndsayWellsTheKitchenWitch]

I LOVE that these can be made ahead and frozen. I'm going to make these on the weekend for our Christmas dinner *happy dance* - thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It is exactly what I've been looking for!

[@mikewriter]

Great video. They look delicious.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thanks man, appreciate that.

[@Sheila6325]

Beautiful! and thank you for the paper towel hint, I can really use that one.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

The paper towel really helps, it is not perfect but frozen hamburger buns really really keep much better in the freezer. Regular bread as well.

[@omegapng]

That looks great.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thanks

[@JohnThomasii]

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Merry Christmas!

[@mikechaffee2217]

momma always knows best.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

She did this time for sure, thank you for watching!

[@KrisKory]

Awesome ... I'm going to try to make these tomorrow :) we have company on Saturday ... thank you so much ... and Merry Christmas to you :)

[@thizizliz]

Oh they look great - perfect with a big pot of stew or soup. There is NOTHING like fresh home made bread, eh? Another winner!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Yes, my mom always made this on special occasions and sometimes with the sunday meal.

[@llamov]

Michael: I have a kitchen counter that doesn't work well as a bread board either. I got a large, about 16x20, plastic cutting board from Walmart and reserve it strictly for bread. It works great and is easy to clean. That's a fine dinner roll recipe. Mine turned out melt in your mouth tender. I baked a few in muffin tins as clover leaf rolls.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

+llamov Thank you for that tip, I did not think about a plastic cutting board, great idea! This old recipe is hard to beat! Thanks! ~Michael

[@junaidhidayat4545]

this roll is very good and i love it i cook this roll and its veryyy tasty and yammy :) ;')

[@valcomm5]

Yum Mike. I love this. Great job my friend. Can I have some? :) Yummy

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Of course you can have some!

[@Honeybea264]

Looks soooooo good. But what on earth is shortening? :-)

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature and used to make crumbly pastry. You can use butter or lard. I changed the description. ~Michael :)

[@varietyhour9553]

I've made a recipe similar to this only with less egg and the dough is really wet but they bake up so soft, and the other recipe I use has the best honey butter recipe that also goes inside and out, so I'm curious to try this as well.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

+Variety hour Thank you for watching mine! ~Michael

[@DonnaMSchmid]

I think I've found my recipe for Christmas dinner rolls!!! Thanks!! I'm sorry to hear you've been slowly losing your Mom... It's happening in our family, too -- and is SO difficult to deal with... I hope you have a wonderful Christmas! (((((((((hugs))))))))))

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

I hope you have a great Christmas too, thank you for everything! ~Michael

[@scottieberryhill1888]

Beautiful job! I am always afraid of yeast...maybe I will try these.

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

You should try this! It does take time, but it is not hard work. ~Michael

[@Aurorah89]

Freaking yum! !!!!

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you Brittney!

[@pesiuber]

Can I skip the butterhorn rolls and use waffles instead?

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

You can do anything you want!

[@einfachleckerkochenmitTom]

great nice video, best wishes... Tom ChaosKitchen51

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

Thank you Tom! ~Michael

[@manahil556]

What is shortening

[@MichaelsHomeCooking]

A very good substitute for shortening is lard. Shortening is like lard but made from vegetables instead of pig fat.

[@lingling8046]

Wow what a process lol, good job tho 😏

[@whowhat6613]

Regarding shortening. It can be replaced with margarine or pure butter (pref. European butter). Shortening & margarine are both saturated fat, so real butter is obviously the most healthy option. European pure butter is 100% pure if it sais so on the package. Pure American butter is rare, and difficult to find, and isn't always pure even if it sais so.

[@lynncrum]

ooommmmggggg

You like? So we have to get married now!
