Easy Dinner Rolls

I always thought that making rolls took FOREVER. I love them right when they come out of the oven smothered in butter. Nothing more tasty than that (unless of course you have your favorite homemade freezer jam, then it is even more delightful).
Tonight at dinner I told my children that they were so lucky. They asked why and I told them because I make them homemade rolls. I told them they needed to ask their dad how many times his mom made homemade rolls. His response was I don't think she ever made them. (Sorry Shirlene, if you read this and you did) The kids were shocked and said to him "Dad, that is so LAME!" I thought that it was quite funny that they said that. Derek was just in heaven that I made them.

Easy Dinner Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. active dry yeast (1 tbsp)
• 1 cup warm milk, 105F-115F
• 1/4 cup butter melted
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3/4-1 lb. all-purpose flour ~ 2 cups
• Butter for pan

Directions

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk.
2. Add melted butter. Add salt and most of the flour.
3. Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth and satiny.
4. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Knead until smooth, adding a little flour if necessary.
5. Divide dough in half and shape each into a long loaf.
6. Cut each loaf into six even pieces and shape into oblong rolls.(I just make them into balls)
7. Place rolls in a greased pan, fairly close to each other. Slash tops.(I don't do this)
8. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.(I don't do this)
9. Sprinkle with a little flour and let rise for about 30 minutes.(I don't sprinkle them with flour but I do brush them with butter after they come out of the oven)
10. Bake at 400 degrees F. on middle rack for about 15 minutes or until light and golden brown.
