Thank you for this recipe. I have been looking for this recipe for years. I gave this recipe to my son’s friend years ago and he lost it. It was always my favorite recipe.
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! My mom has been looking for it for years – she says it’s from a Gold Medal Flour package.
This was from a Gold Medal flour bag and I have used it for a long time. Great recipe and it is “quick & easy” for rolls.
I am looking for a refrigerator yeast roll receipe made from Instant Flour – made them arount 1970-to 1980 have lost my recipe and the instant flour people don’t have it. It was printed on the fold out recipes inside the 5 pound pkg of Instant Flour
I am trying this recipe for the first time I hope it works.
For Linda Sue:
I’m posting a recipe for Wonder Rolls that is made with Wondra flour. I’m not sure this is the instant flour that you spoke of, but I made this recipe a number of times back in the ’70s and can vouch that it makes delicious rolls.
Wonder Rolls
2 pkg. dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 TB (heaping) sugar
2 cups scalded milk
2/3 cup melted shortening or butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 pounds Wondra flour plus one cup regular flour
Soften yeast in warm water with the heaping tablespoon of sugar in a large bowl. Mix melted shortening, sugar, and salt with the scalded milk. Let cool to just warm and add to the yeast. Add eggs and flour. Blend well until a soft dough forms. Let sit on a floured surface for ten minutes, then knead until light and elastic, but still soft. Add just enough extra flour to keep dough from getting stick. Store in the refrigerator until needed – for 3-4 days. Shape into rolls. Let rise 2 hours. Bake at 425 F until brown for 10 to 15 minutes.
I hope this is what you are looking for.
This has to be from the ’70s. With 9 kids and a husband to feed, this was a perfect recipe. Mine recipe looks EXACTLY like the one cut-out above, but it’s getting old, so I thought I’d find a newer one to print for safe-keeping.
I first made this Cinnamon Nut Roll Recipe in about 1976 – made it every Sunday morning – best thing I ever found on the back of the BEST Flour you could buy. Many requests were asked of me from this. Recepi so GLAD I found it! Try it.
I’ve had this recipe since the late ’70s and it has never failed me. It’s Quick & Easy just like the name suggests, and it’s my go to recipe. Perfection!
This is a wonderful recipe. I found it on a Gold Meadow flour bag when I was in my early 20’s, I am 63 now and still use this recipe. In fact it is my go to recipe when I want quick rolls for dinner and a small batch. I also give this recipe to my friends that are first time yeast roll makers. When I was growing up the recipe’s found food packages were great recipes. They are classics now. I wish I had saved more of them.
