Method

1. Recite Bismillah
2. Cream butter & sugar till light & creamy. ( For a good 15 mins- we recommend using the stand mixer for this)
3. Beat in vanilla & egg yolk.
4. Add in dry ingredients & enough flour to make a soft dough. Never add in all the flour! You may need less or you may need more.
5. Divide dough into 4 parts so it is easier to work with.

7. Preheat oven to 180 c.
8. Remove rolls from fridge, cut into slices & place on baking tray.
