Vinegar Roll
"My grandmother made this dessert for my father. It is one of his favorites. I don't really measure things, so I have approximated some measurements. This is a sweet-sour syrup served over a crunchy biscuit-like turnover. It really is better than it sounds. I think it was called a 'Roll' because some people rolled the dough and prepared like cinnamon rolls. I was always served this like a turnover. Either way is fine."

I am a middled aged female, wife & mother of one teen aged boy. (Wife of one middle aged man, LOL). I work part time as a manicurist specializing in Gel nails. I think some of my favorite recipes are from the cook books you buy from Church or charity groups. I also really like my Texas State Fair cookbook. These seem to have recipes that people eat every day with ingredients that are readily available. I like to cook, but my favorite past-time is going to Vegas Baby!
