Rose Petal Rolls

Submitted by Cree6936

"I remember my cousin Danika making these rolls one Thanksgiving a very long time ago (while we both were really young). They came out just right even as kids; sweet, hot and soft. I'm not sure where the original recipe came from but it's been a family favorite ever since."

These were extremely easy to mix up and the batter was very smooth and thick. I used a medium ice cream scoop and put one scoop for each roll. I cooked them at 450 for exactly 10 minutes, which was just perfect. They were very soft and light, kind of a mix between a yeast roll and a muffin. They were still pretty good as leftovers the next day. I also put the rest of the batter in the frig in a plastic container and tried another batch a day later. These too came out perfect in about 10 minutes. This is great to make ahead, keep in the frig and have a quick hot bread with dinner.
