Ingredients
- 12 Rhodes Texas Rolls or 24 Rhodes Yeast Dinner Rolls, thawed but still cold
- Soft butter or squeeze margarine, for brushing
- Prepare Rolls: Using 1 Texas roll (or 2 dinner rolls combined into a ball), make 4 to 5 deep cuts into each roll with scissors, cutting nearly to the bottom to create the signature flake layers.
- Butter the Rolls: Brush soft butter or squeeze margarine thoroughly into each cut to ensure rich flavor and moisture throughout the rolls.
- Place in Muffin Cups: Arrange the prepared rolls in sprayed muffin cups to hold their shape during rising and baking.
- Let Rise: Cover the rolls loosely with sprayed plastic wrap and let them rise in a warm place until they double in size. This usually takes about 1 hour depending on kitchen temperature.
- Bake: Remove the plastic wrap and bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Notes
- Rising time varies based on room temperature; warmer settings speed up rising.
- Using fresh yeast rolls ensures better rising and texture.
- If combining dinner rolls instead of using Texas rolls, use two per portion.
- Spraying the plastic wrap and muffin cups prevents sticking.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
