Oatmeal Rolls

★★★★★

Prep Time: 1 hr | Cook Time: 10 mins | Makes: 2 dozen rolls | Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:

• 2 cups quick cooking oatmeal
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 cup butter
• 11/2 tbsp yeast
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp salt
• 3/8 cup sugar (just under 1/2 cup)
• 41/2 cups flour
• 2 tbsp butter, melted

Directions:

In large bowl, measure oatmeal and pour the boiling water over the top of it. Stir slightly so all of the oatmeal is moistened. Cut butter and place on top of oatmeal mixture. Set aside until butter is melted and mixture has cooled. Sprinkle yeast on top of oatmeal mixture. Add eggs, salt, sugar and flour. Mix on low speed for 8-10 minutes. Dough will be soft and sticky but don't add more flour. Let dough rise until double in size. Roll out onto a well-floured board until dough is 1/4 inch thick. Brush with melted butter and cut with 31/2 inch round cutter. Fold each round in half, then take two rounds and fold them so the ends interlock; round edges up, folded sides down. Place rolls in regular size muffin tins that have been sprayed with nonstick spray. Let rise till double in size. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Rolls should be light golden brown. If they are dark golden brown, they are overdone and will be dry.
