Ingredients

1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast
3/4 cup water water (98 to 105 degrees F)
2 1/2 cups plus 1/2 to 1 cup prepared biscuit mix
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Dissolve the yeast in the water. Put the 2 1/2 cups of biscuit mix in a large bowl; stir in the sugar. Add the yeast mixture, stirring vigorously. Sprinkle the work surface generously with the remaining 1/2 to 1 cup biscuit mix.

Turn the dough out onto the surface and knead well, 15 to 20 times. Shape the dough as desired. (I shape heaping tablespoons of dough into balls). Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Just before putting into oven, brush rolls with melted butter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Brush the rolls again with melted butter while they're hot.

Should be called biscuits
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Just because the recipe calls for the use of some yeast does not make these yeast rolls. They taste and have the same... consistancy as buscuits. If you want a roll that actually tastes like a traditional yeast roll don't try these!!Read more

Heavy as a rock,Very Dissapointed
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

These rolls were heavy as rocks and had very little flavor orther than the biscuit mix. Tried it again. Added more sugar and... used milk instead of water. Got a good rise and smelled great, BUT..... still heavy as a rock and not l the yeast roll I was hoping for. Love you Paula but this was a true dissapointment. I'll go back to Betty and a more traditional recipe. The extra time is worth the effort to get a delicioulsly light yeast roll. Read more

Could've Made Biscuits
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

These tasted exactly like Bisquick biscuits, along with the dry and lumpy consistency. Will never make them again.

This is the lazy way not the easy way and it is a terrible recipe. A waste of ingredients. However, some of her other... recipes are great.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5
