Are these Dinner Rolls like regular yeast dinner rolls?

Tips for Making No Yeast Dinner Rolls
Tip #1 – Use Fresh Flour
Because this recipe uses self-rising flour and no yeast or other rising agents, it’s extremely important that your flour (and the leavening agents in your flour be fresh).
Using fresh flour and other fresh ingredients in your recipe will not only taste better, but it will also help ensure your dinner rolls bake and rise perfectly.
If you try making these rolls with older flour, the baking powder in the flour might not perform like it should and your rolls might not rise properly.
How to Ensure Your No Yeast Dinner Rolls Rise
These homemade dinner rolls are made simple with self-rising flour, which has leavening agents including baking powder and salt already in it.
Because this is the only rising agent in these dinner rolls, it’s SUPER IMPORTANT to make sure your self-rising flour is not expired.
If you are not sure of how old your flour is, either buy new flour or add an extra ½ tsp of baking powder to your dough, just in case.
Tip #2 – Use Room Temperature Ingredients
For the best homemade dinner rolls, I recommend using room temperature ingredients. Simply set out your eggs, sour cream, and milk about 15 minutes before preparing your rolls.
Using room temperature ingredients helps create air pockets in your batter, which results in fluffier, softer rolls.
In contrast, if you use super cold ingredients, your dinner rolls will be more dense, tougher, and flatter, which nobody wants.
Tip #3 – Freeze/Grate Your Butter
I use this simple trick whenever I make my delicious 3-Ingredient Biscuits, and it’s SO good!
Simply put your butter in the freezer for 5 minutes, then use aBox Grater to grate the butter into your flour.
Grating your butter only takes a minute or two and it will give you perfectly even pieces of butter throughout your dinner rolls.
Tip #4 – Don’t Overmix Your Dough
Unlike a lot of bread and roll recipes out there, these easy no yeast dinner rolls are best mixed by hand to avoid over-mixing.
Overmixed dough = dry, tough rolls, which nobody wants.
Don’t use an electric mixer or stand mixer, but instead just use a rubber spatula and stir the dough until JUST combined.
The dough will be sticky, lumpy, and slightly wet, and similar to a muffin batter.
It typically takes me about 13-15 stirs, but this can vary.
Tip #5 – Don’t Overbake
Just as its important not to overmix, don’t overbake these dinner rolls.
Bake until the edges are a light golden brown.
Tip #6 – Glaze/Broil After Baking
For the most delicious (and pretty) homemade dinner rolls, I recommend using a pastry brush to glaze the tops with my homemade honey butter and popping them under the broiler for 30 seconds or so until they are a beautiful, golden brown.
The honey butter adds the perfect buttery sweetness, and it crisps up slightly under the broiler for some amazingly delicious rolls!
