One Rise Parker House Rolls

Place Buttermilk and butter in a mediumbowl, microwave on low until buttermilkwarm and butter melted, I use the defrost setting in my microwave. Sift together the flour, 1 teaspoon of the baking powder, and the salt. Add the dry yeast, Iuse quick rise, to the flour, stirring in. Add the 1/4 tsp of baking powder andthe sugar to the buttermilk mix, stir in. Keep stirring while adding the flour mix. Turn out on a lightly floured boardand knead until smooth and elastic. Roll out dough to about a little over 1/4 inch thick. Use a bisquit cutter to cut rounds. With a sharp knife cut about halfway through, across the round, fold in half cut side out and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the rolls with some melted butter, move to a warm place to let rise, about 45 min if using quick rise yeast, 1 and 1/2 hours using regular yeast. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, until lightly browned. 15 to 18 rolls.

P.S. I buy yeast at Sam'sclub, commercial quick rise, 2 one pound vacume wrapped bricks, either Fleischman's or Red Star, which ever they have, cost about $3.50 total. I freeze the extra,or give it to a friend, use the open one, a heaping teaspoon to a called for package of yeast, keeping the open package in the freezer between use. I have used the frozen yeast up to a year with nofailure, then opened the second pound with the same good results. Sure beats paying $1.50 to $1.80 for 3 little packages of yeast.
