ISO: recipe for butter rolls

AlsGal · 02-04-2009, 02:06 PM

I'm really missing these wonderful, butter rolls but I'm wwaayy over here on the east coast. Can someone please tell me how to make these at home? I've scoured the internet and can only find haole-kine dinner rolls - about a million different kinds - none are like our island-style butter rolls (even though some are called "butter rolls" - not. You know da kine, right? Looks like they were baked in a muffin pan and because they rose so much while baking the top looks kinda "rounded" (ends up looking sorta like a chef's hat"). Yumm - I'm so 'ono for dem right now. Somebody help me, please - lol.

Aloha AlsGal,

While we do not give out any of our recipes, I can offer you a substitute:

Get a can of Pillsbury pop-n fresh Dinner Roll dough or Crescent roll dough, both available in the refrigerated section of the supermarket, usually where the eggs and butter is sold. I believe there are 8 servings in one can. In a muffin pan (OK to use the disposable aluminum type) put about 2 teaspoons of butter, doesn't have to be exact. It is imperative that you use BUTTER, not margarine or butter substitute, or it will not taste the same. You can simply cut the stick of butter when cold and drop the square pieces into each compartment of the muffin pan. Pop open the can of dough, and separate the pieces. If it is flat, you can gather it up into a ball, but do NOT make it too tight and knock all the air out of it. Drop the dough ball into the pan over the slice of butter. Pre heat the oven according to the directions of the can of dough. When the oven is ready, place the pan onto the middle rack of the oven. Bake following the directions on the can.

I think the crescent dough will make a better tasting butter roll. The challenging thing is that it has to be sort of shaped into a ball first. I hope this helps out with your craving!

Aloha!
