Notes

For a softer texture, you can substitute the milk with buttermilk.
These rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven for 5-7 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
You can customize these rolls with different herbs or seasonings such as garlic powder or cheddar cheese for extra flavor.
