Doreen's Dinner Rolls

"I got this recipe from my sister in law who brought these to a family dinner. She got the recipe from a church cookbook. I had to have the recipe when I tried them! They have just a hint of sweetness and are just perfect. I have made these myself and I couldn't believe how well they turned out! (p.s. These freeze really well after they are baked & you can just unthaw the amount of rolls you need in the microwave!)"

  1. This is actually a review for a slightly different recipe... I haven't tried this one... but it's close to our family favorite roll recipe. Most of the quantities are right on. It's a great recipe. I actually scald the milk and add the butter then let it cool enough to add the other ingredients. When I roll it out, I brush some melted butter on the triangle shapes before rolling them! It's important not to overcook them. Also, because I think healthy eating is important, I usually substitute whole wheat flour for 1/3-1/2 the amount of flour (milled at home which is soooo much better than purchased whole wheat flour which tends to be terribly dense and not make a good product at all).
     
  2. This is really delicious and not that difficult at all. Plus the cutting method makes the buns look really unique. For a good sandwich size bun, i will probably cut them a bit bigger next time (maybe quarters instead of 8th's). Thank you for this recipe, I will definitely make it again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live here in Utah with my wonderful husband &amp; daughter.&nbsp;<br /> <br />I've been cooking since I was a kid, but really started to get interested in it over the last few years. I'm best at desserts and baking, but like to make just about anything. I especially love to entertain and cook for others. I'm not a picky eater and will try anything once. I'm always making new recipes so it's pretty rare if I make anything twice. These days cooking has me taking on a new challenge to find things that a picky 2 year old will eat and my husband and I will eat as well. It's not always easy but the successes are definitely worth the effort!</p>
