Wiener Rolls

These wiener rolls are ideal if you are taking lunches to work or school. They are great for a quick meal, just add a bowl of soup or a salad. My son loves these smothered with a tomato soup gravy. The dough is simple and easy to work with.

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups flour or use 1 cup white and 3/4 cup whole wheat
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 9 wieners, cut in thirds

Method:

1. Mix dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl or in your food processor.
2. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender.
3. Stir in sour cream and milk and mix only until a ball forms.
4. Using a little flour, roll out the dough and cut into strips, the width of the wiener pieces. Cut each strip into squares, just large enough to roll the wiener piece.
5. Roll up a piece of wiener in each square and place seam side down on a parchment lined sheet. Usually I end up using 9 wieners, depending on the size of wieners or how thick my dough has been rolled out. 
6. Bake at 400º for 15 minutes.
7. Serve with your choice of mustard, a salad or a bowl of soup.
8. Yield: 27 rolls
