  1. Great quick roll recipe. I followed exactly and they came out just great. I like that they taste yeasty but you don't have to knead, etc. My husband really liked them!
     
  2. Made for Easter Egg Event. These were fun to try and yummy on top of that! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. The dough was such a sticky mess I thought I'd messed up but the rolls turned out very tasty indeed. I went to Pre[H]Eat to get the right temperature (375°) and baked for 30 minutes.
     
  4. Really Good! I was worried I messed up because the dough was so thin and gooey! But they turned out awesome!!! A Keeper for sure! You might want to mention the oven temp for baking is 375. Also spraying the spoon with non-stick spray might help with the stickiness. Thanks for posting!
