I had planned to submit this recipe, it's just fantastic! A friend of my mother's gave it to her back in the 1960s, and it quickly became a favorite. Now my three sisters and I make them for our families, and IMO there is no better yeast roll recipe. :)<br/><br/>Pretty quick and easy; even if I don't think of them till after lunch, they're still ready for dinner. <br/><br/>My kiddos love them with an orange frosting. Mix thawed, frozen orange juice concentrate (DO NOT use drinkable OJ) with powdered sugar to desired consistency, anywhere a light glaze to a true icing. They do make for a nice breakfast/brunch add this way. <br/>And do not take them to anyone's house, unless you want to have to do it every time you go! ;)

I am a 43 year-old mom of 3. I live in Crawfordsville, Indiana. I work at a middle school, which I really love. I enjoy cooking (of course!), gardening, my pets (2 dogs, 3 cats), and my loving husband!
I am an avid cookbook collector, always looking at sales for any kind! I usually cook a meal every evening. I think sitting down as a family is very important nowadays. I have a grown, married son (and a grandbaby on the way!), a son in his first year at college and a 12-year old cheerleader! :) So it's really special to me to be able to hear about her exciting day!
