Came out pretty good, although I used 2 tsps of sugar with the yeast, adding the remaining 1 tsp later. And I let the batter sit for an hour or two to really let the flavor mature before adding the remaining ingredients. Next time I may try longer as my 3rd batch came out tasting much better than the 2nd (and definitely much better than the 1st).

These paposecos came out wonderful. I used Earth Balance Organic Buttery Spread and substituted a cup of white bread flour with whole wheat. After halving the recipe (I still made about 10 rolls) and going with Jennie's advice, they were a Vegan treat with some hot Garlic and Greens Soup. Next time I'll keep the yeast batter (sponge) in a warm place rising for at least 60 minutes and let all of the dough rise at about 60 minutes too. Also, I'll make sure to take a smaller chunk of dough when I'm making the individual rolls. The dough was warm, chewy and delicious, but a bit dense because there was too much of it.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
