Could i use wheat flour or will it ruin the fluffyness?

Nothing is better than soft rolls served with dinner, especially if they are homemade. If I made this, I would double the recipe. Leftovers could be frozen, and saved for another meal. For these rolls, I would use skim milk and butter, instead of shortening and margarine.

How many rolls does this recipe make? It doesn't say how many rolls to divide the dough into. Thanks!

The shortening or margarine used in Step 1 is worked into the dough. The rolls are dipped in melted butter (listed separately in the ingredients list) in Step 3. -RecipeLion Editors

Wait, wait, wait....is the shortening or margerine MELTED??? OR 'WORKED IN'??
