Cooking up a Field Trip

This week we took the kids on a field trip to Cooking Up Fun. They learned how to make yeast rolls and honey butter. They had a great time learning to cook and spending time with some friends. They even got to eat some rolls and take some home!

I guess I forgot to take a picture of the final product but they were good.

Dinner Rolls

These are not the best rolls I have tasted but are nice because they only have to raise once for 45 minutes

1 3/4 c. lukewarm water

3 pkg. yeast (or 3/4 oz. of balk yeast)

5 c. flour

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 c. powdered milk

1/2 tsp. salt

3 eggs

1/4 c. butter

Mix water and yeast together and let stand for 10 min. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. (may need to add a little more flour.) Pour out on a lightly floured surface. Roll out and cut into squares and place on a greased cookie sheet. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.

Bake at 350 untill brown (20-30 min.) Brush with melted butter when done.

Makes 24 large rolls.

Honey Butter

1 stick of butter

1 tsp of honey (or to taste)

Blend very well and allow to sit for 15 minutes before serving
