BUTTERMILK ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the buttermilk, butter and sugar in a pot until simmering; whisk in the baking soda, then let cool to lukewarm. Meanwhile, put 1/4 cup lukewarm water in a bowl and stir in the yeast; let stand 5 minutes. Whisk the yeast mixture into the buttermilk mixture.
• Whisk the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add the liquid and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough in the bowl until it comes together and is smooth, about 2 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 30 minutes.
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Divide the dough into 12 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Arrange the balls in the buttered dish. Lightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise until nearly doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bake the rolls until puffed and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

SPOON ROLLS

Steps:

• Empty package of yeast into a large mixing bowl. Add the 2 cups warm water, 2 tablespoons sugar, beaten egg, 4 cups self-rising flour and melted butter mixing after each addition. You can do this with a mixer or a spoon. CAUTION: If your melted butter is hot, let it cool to warm before adding so as not to kill the yeast in the dough.
• Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Fill cups 1/2 to 3/4 full. Let dough rise in pan about 20 minutes. (It won't rise a lot).
• Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 - 35 minutes checking for doneness as ovens vary. Makes about 18 muffins.

• The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease miniature muffin tins.
