Sour Cream and Chives Rolls

Sour cream and onion rolls are so flavourful.

A wonderful roll that can be made with Greek yogurt if desired. A classic flavour my children love. Use Greek yogurt if desired.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sour cream (Greek Yogurt works)

• 2 tbsp shortening (coconut butter)

• 2 1/4 ap flour, divided

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast or dry yeast (1 pkg)

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 egg, large

• 1/3 cup warm water (120F-instant yeast)

• 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped (garlic chives are great)

• 3-4 oz cheddar crumbles (optional)

• optional: 2 tsp onion powder and 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions

1. Heat and melt shortening. Cool about 15 mins until lukewarm, then add sour cream and set aside.

2. In a large bowl mix together:  1 1/4 cup flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and onion powder.

3. Now blend together the sour cream mixture, egg, and water. Add to dry mixture and beat until smooth.

4. Blend in 1 cup flour and chives, and cheddar crumbles.

5. Cover and let rise until double. About 30 minutes. Now grease a 12 muffin tin.

Stir down the batter. Beat it a bit; about 25 strokes. Spoon in the cups.

Let rise again. 20-30 mins. You want the batter to just slightly surpass the tops of the cups.

6. Bake 400F. 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

7. Then remove from oven and spread a butter onion powder (melted) mixture over after baking.

8. Remove from the tins and place on a rack. Otherwise, the moisture will condense and make a soggy bun.

Note: This is more of a batter bread and therefore doesn't have the longest shelf-life.
