Butter Rolls
Report
These old-fashioned Southern Butter Rolls turn out ooey gooey and hard to resist! These look similar to a cinnamon roll, but the dough is more like a pie crust or biscuit - no yeast needed!

Ingredients
For the dough:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter cold
- 1/2 cup water cold
For the filling:
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon more as desired
For the milk sauce:
- 2 cups milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
To make the dough:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Use a pastry cutter to cut in the butter.
- When you have coarse crumbs, add the 1/2 cup of water and stir. Use your hands to press the dough together.
- Place dough in fridge for 10 minutes to make it a bit easier to work with.
To fill the dough:
- Generously sprinkle your workspace with flour. Roll the dough out into a 12x10 rectangle.
- Spread the softened butter evenly over the pastry. Sprinkle with the 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll up the dough, jelly roll style. Cut into 12 even slices.
- Place in the prepared baking dish.
For the milk sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk and remaining sugar just until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
To bake:
- Pour the milk sauce over the rolls.
- Bake until browned, about 30-40 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- While we haven't tested it ourselves, readers have mentioned using store-bought pie crust in place of the homemade dough. Might be fun to try!
- We just use a light sprinkling of cinnamon for flavor in these rolls. For a stronger flavor, use more cinnamon.
