These rolls are to die for. Have had this recipe in my file for sometime but only recently decided to make them. They are a hit with everyone, each time I make them. Never any left over. Numerous requests for the recipe. Only change I made was to omit step 18. Felt they were rich enough without melted butter being poured over them -
I made these rolls for my family for breakfast this morning. They were a big hit. I did switch out the cup of very warm water with a cup of very warm milk instead. Easy to make. I am usually the first person up in our house so they had about two hours to rise in the muffin tins and bake before the kids woke up.

I live in a suburb of Dallas,Texas and have been a nurse for 30 years. I work on an oncology unit. My husband and I have 3 fabulous sons who are nearly grown, so we are looking forward to watching to see how they will live their lives. We both like to cook. We have always liked eating too, so now we're working on losing weight!
