Sour Cream Yeast Rolls

Hadn't made rolls that called for sour cream before. Figured if it made it into the latest edition of Taste of Home, it'd prove good. Not only good, but easy!

Ingredients:
2 1/2 to 3 cups Flour
2 Tbls Sugar
1 Pkg (2 1/4tsp) Yeast
1 tsp Salt
1 Cup Sour Cream
1/4 cup Water
3 Tbls Butter, divided
1 Egg

In large bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, water and 2 Tbls butter; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Add egg and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 more minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough. Divide into 12 pieces. Shape each into a ball. Place in a greased baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 min.

Bake @ 375 for 25 minutes, until golden brown. Melt remaining Tbls butter; brush over rolls. Remove from pan to a wire rack...
