I just made a lemon meringue pie. I baked the meringue the length of time recommended and at the temp recommended. The meringue is nicely brown but the middle seems shaky is this actually done in the middle or does it need to bake a little longer?

I tried this recipe today and the rolls came out perfect. All I would add is to be sure to reduce the oven temp to 350 if you use a glass baking dish to make them in. Thanks for the wonderful rolls - my husband will love them with dinner tonight

This recipe is great, so very light and that is what I was looking for in a dinner roll. I mixed mine in the food processor and let rise in the oven then made my rolls and let rise again. Next time I think I will make them smaller just so I don't eat so many!

Super dinner rolls! The only change I made was to reduce the sugar to 1 Tbsp which worked perfectly for our taste. Definitely a 'keeper'. I only got 8 rolls because I made them in to balls and put them in a 10" pie pan. Thanks so much for posting this easy and very tasty dinner roll recipe. ETA that once I had removed from from the oven and brushed them with butter I sprinkled on recipe #421678 (Everything Topping)

I have tried for years to bake bread with mediocre results. I tried this recipe because I thought it would be easy in my bread maker. I ran it through the dough cycle and then shaped it into two long baguettes because I can't seem to make attractive rolls. I let the two baguettes rise on a cookie sheet far enough apart so they wouldn't touch as the went through the second rise and baking. I cooked the bread for 15 minutes. The tops was a lovely brown. I brushed them with melted butter as soon as they came out of the oven. The bread was soft, delicious, and had a great crumb. My family announced it was the best bread I have ever made and I must agree. I highly recommend trying this recipe if you like a soft white bread. This is a keeper recipe.

This bread is fantastic!!! I used to bake Old Plantations Rolls, but they're too heavy for me, I'm so glad to have found these. We love them SO much!!!! Thanks for sharing......

I baked this recipe on "Karen Bakes" recommendation in a forum posting that I posted about my search for rolls like you get in school. My son actually said these are lighter than school rolls and I had subbed 1/2 c wheat flour for white flour and added wheat germ. I might actually inch that up a bit to a full cup of wheat flour because I like a bit of wheat flour in a roll. I also think I will probably make these for Easter Dinner. They are superb and did very nicely the second day also.
