Experience the nostalgic charm of homemade bread with these easy and delicious Old Time Spoon Rolls. Perfectly soft, lightly sweetened, and irresistibly golden, these no-knead rolls come together using a simple yeast dough that rises to fluffy perfection in a muffin tin. Made with pantry staples like all-purpose flour, whole milk, and melted butter, this recipe offers a quick 15-minute prep and is ideal for beginner bakers. These versatile rolls are the ultimate side dish for weeknight dinners or holiday feasts, and their effortless "spoon and drop" method makes them a must-try for any occasion. Serve warm with a pat of butter, and watch them disappear!
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This activates the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt to combine.
In another medium bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until well blended. Add the frothy yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon to mix until a sticky dough forms. Avoid over-mixing.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
Using two spoons, scoop the dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the rolls are golden brown.
Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Optionally, brush the tops with additional melted butter for extra flavor.
