Cut in the shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in just enough ice water to form a stiff dough.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Roll &amp; Fill: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out very thin. Use a small saucer to cut the dough into rounds. Spread each round with softened butter, then sprinkle generously with sugar. Tightly roll each round into a log.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish. Bake at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) until they are slightly browned.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Prepare the Dip: While the rolls are baking, heat the milk in a small saucepan. Add enough sugar to make it sweet to your liking and stir in about a teaspoon of vanilla. The mixture should be very hot but not boiling.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Finish &amp; Serve: Once the rolls are slightly browned, carefully pour the hot milk mixture over them. Return the dish to the oven for another 10-15 minutes. These rolls are best served warm.<\/p>\n<p>Tips &amp; Variations<\/p>\n<p>For a delicious twist on this recipe, combine dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and finely chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered surface of the dough before rolling them up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This recipe for Old-Fashioned Butter Rolls is a simple, comforting dessert with a taste of old-world charm.
