Steps

  • 1
    Mix 2 cups of the flour, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the salt and yeast in large bowl. Add warm milk, 1/3 cup margarine and the egg.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Buying yeast in the bulk section of your grocery store can save you money. Make the conversion; each package of active dry yeast contains 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast, so you’ll need 4 1/2 teaspoons for this recipe.
  • tip 2
    To ensure recipe success if using a vegetable oil spread, use a spread with at least 65% vegetable oil.
  • tip 3
    If you wish, make a quick icing by mixing powdered sugar with a little water until spreadable. Drizzle or spread over warm rolls.
  • tip 4
    Rise to the occasion! If using self-rising flour, there is no need to add salt.
