Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 - (1/4-ounce) package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm (110 degrees) water
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3 - 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

How To Make cloverleaf rolls - cassie's

  • Step 1
    Put the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. ( I mixed the dough in my KitchenAid mixer). In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm; pour it over the butter mixture and let cool. In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; set aside to proof until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Stir the yeast mixture into the butter mixture. Beat in the egg, then beat in the flour until you have a soft dough. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Step 3
    Two hours before baking, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it in half. Divide each half into 6 equal portions, then divide each portion into 3 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, dip into the melted butter, and place in a muffin tin, 3 balls to a muffin cup. ( I didn't dip mine, I buttered the muffin tins, then once removed from oven, I buttered). Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Step 4
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the rolls for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Step 5
    These rolls are very light and tender..just delicious hot, right out of the oven.
