Dinner rolls that have margarine or butter rolled in them are called what?

• A. Butterflakes
• B. Rolls with butter
• C. Butter buns
• D. Rolls with margarine

Answer: (A)

Butterflakes describe rolls that are made by folding or rolling butter into the dough to create many thin, flaky layers. When fat is worked into the dough, it forms sheets that puff apart as they bake. The steam and thin butter layers separate, producing the characteristic flaky texture you feel in each bite. That flaky, butter-rich result is what the term butterflakes is meant to convey. Other phrases like “rolls with butter” or “butter buns” describe the same idea but aren’t the customary name for this specific style, whereas butterflakes is the established term for these flaky, butter-filled rolls.
