Country Ice Box Rolls
Country Icebox rolls are light and flaky with a touch of sweetness. Can you guess the secret ingredient in this recipe? I was caught off guard by what it was and thought, “Cool, haven’t tried that one yet”. Turns out it works great.
This recipe comes from a friend. One Thanksgiving, some friends shared some of their family leftovers with me and the rolls were crazy good. I respectfully asked for the recipe. Turns out the recipe goes back to their great-grandparents.

Making Country Ice Box Rolls
In this recipe, bread flour is used which has a stronger gluten structure. That can lead to a tougher dinner roll. I’m still amazed at how well everything worked using bread flour. The original recipe uses All Purpose Flour. Which creates a lighter texture dinner roll.
Country Ice Box Rolls – Using Bread Flour
- 1 Qt Whole Milk
- 1 Cup of Crisco
- 1 Cup of Fine White Sugar
- 2 Tbp Baking Powder
- 1 Tbp Baking Soda
- 1 Tbp Sea Salt Heaping
- 2 Packages of Dry Active Yeast /or 1 Yeast Cake
- Add the Crisco, Whole Milk & Sugar into a medium pot and melt the Crisco down.
- Next cool ingredients till thermometer reads between 95-105 degrees ( To hot, and the yeast will die and will not leaven the rolls.
- Add Yeast and enough flour to create a loose batter consistency, transfer into an electric mixer.
- Wait about 20-30 minutes and let the Yeast "Activate", the Yeast will bloom and grow in size from the activation from sugar. The yeast eats a bit of the sugar.
- Then sift your Flour, Baking Powder and Baking Soda together to remove any possible lumps.
- Start adding in Flour little by little till the dough comes to a nice texture. Adding around 3 1/2 Cups of Flour or more. The dough will still be a little bit sticky to the touch.
- Allow the dough to rise in the warmest part of your kitchen for 1-2 hours or till doubles in size. Overnight in the refrigerator works very well. The dough will be easier to work with the next day.
- Sizing can be done with a digital scale or you can use an ice cream scooper for keeping even sizing and even cooking.
- I weighed out to around 1.6 ounces each
- Flour your hands and roll around in your hands to shape into a ball, pulling the dough underneath itself, pinch by pinch moving in a clockwise motion. Place on flat surface and continue shaping till nicely shaped rolls.
- Layout on a cookie sheet and cover with melted butter and poppy seeds. You could use an egg wash,( Add Egg and some water mixed together)
- Bake at 425 for 12 to 15 minutes.

Can you substitute butter for Crisco?
With this recipe, I have not tested with butter. I would think you could, but you would need to use high-quality butter. Here’s what I recommend. Costs around $3.00…Hope that helps….https://www.amazon.com/Kerrygold-Pure-Irish-Butter-Foil/dp/B007N6Z5J0
