These are not the famous "lips" rolls but thay are still pretty good and easier to make, especially with kids. We got this recipe from Laurie and Cade when we went to Houston for Thanksgiving and I've made them at least every week since then. They are easy to make and you can do each step in between whatever else you are making for dinner. Ashlynn loves them!
In a microwave bowl, heat 1 cup milk and 1 cube butter for 2 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup cold water. Stir it up and touch it with your finger. It should be warm but not hot.
Meanwhile, in your mixer bowl stir together:
3 1/2 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp yeast (I have also made them using 2 packets of yeast and it works just fine)
Add the wet ingredients and stir together. With dough hook, knead for 5ish minutes. Add extra flour a little at a time to get a soft but not sticky dough. Oil your hands and another bowl and remove the dough to the oiled bowl. Let rise for 10-15 minutes, covered and in a warm place (I heat the oven to the lowest possible setting and then turn it off and let it rise in there).
Punch down and shape. Place on greased sheet and let rise for another 10ish minutes. Bake at 420 degrees for 10ish minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and brush tops with butter (just run a cube over the tops--this keeps them nice and soft).
