Easy Texas Sourdough Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 1/4 ounce yeast
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup oil
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons baking powder
• 6 cups flour
• bacon drippings, if desired

Directions

1. 1

   In very large bowl, add water and sprinkle yeast over the top. Allow to set about 5 minutes until mixture is bubbly.

2. 2

   Add sugar, oil, buttermilk. Mix well.

3. 3

   Add 3 cups flour, salt, soda, and baking powder. Mix well. Then add rest of flour. Mixture will be thin.

4. 4

   Cover and place in fridge until ready to use. (Mixture thickens up.)

5. 5

   To use: On floured counter, place desired amount of dough. Sprinkle top with flour and flatten to about 1/2 inch. Use biscuit cutter dipped in flour, or a sharp knife dipped in flour and cut into wedges or squares.

6. 6

   Place rolls on well greased baking sheet or pan. Bake at 350-400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

7. 7

   If you like the old-fashioned way, use melted bacon drippings in your pan to dip and turn the rolls in before baking. This is how we made them on the ranch.
