No-Rise Yeast Rolls

I found this recipe while looking for a last minute side to go with our meatloaf dinner. These were so easy & turned out great. I used whole wheat flour & they were not too dry or gritty. A little butter & they were quite nice. :) I even had to look up a substitute for the buttermilk that called for regular milk & lemon juice...then had to seek out a soy version when I realized we had NO cow's milk in the house. Ugh. But no one could tell I had make my own vanilla soy-buttermilk. ;)

No-Rise Yeast Rolls

• 2 tsp. yeast
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/2 TBS baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 1/2 - 3 cups whole wheat flour, freshly ground (or freshly bought at Walmart, or even white - gasp! )
• 1/4 c. butter, melted
  
• 1/4 c. honey
• 3/4 c. buttermilk
• 2 extra TBS butter, for brushing on cooked rolls
  

Mix first three ingredients and let sit a minute or two, till yeast is a bit bubbly. Add the other ingredients (except for extra 2 TBS butter), starting with just two cups of flour, and mix, adding more flour till you have a soft, not too sticky, dough. If you've made homemade biscuits, or at least touched the dough your grandmama made, that's what it should feel like. Turn dough onto the flour-dusted counter top and press out to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into twelve squares. Bake @ 375 for about 15 minutes, then brush with butter. Good stuff. *These are pretty sweet, so cut down on the honey if that's not your thing.
