Fried Dinner Rolls
- Dough
- Butter
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp lard
When making light raised bread, save out a piece of dough nearly the size of a small loaf. Roll it out on the board and spread 1 Tbsp of melted butter over it. Dissolve the baking soda in 1 Tbsp of water and pour that also over it. Work it all well into the dough. Roll it out into a sheet not quite half an inch thick. Cut it in strips 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. Lay them on buttered tins, cover with a linen cloth and set aside and take a deep breath in a cool place until an hour before dinner. Then set them by the fire where they will become light. While they are rising, put into the frying pan 1 Tbsp of cold butter and 1 Tbsp of lard. When it boils clear and is hot, lay as many of the rolls in as will fry nicely. As soon as they brown on one side, turn them over and brown the other. Then turn them on their edges and brown the sides. Add fresh grease as needed. Eat them warm in place of bread.
