> This recipe is from my Great-Grandma Alder. My mom got this recipe from her mom who had gotten it from her mom and has now passed it on to James and I. This makes me the 4th generation to bake these rolls. My mom would melt half a stick of butter in the baking dish, then as she formed the rolls, she would roll them in melted butter, which made them brown perfectly, and taste delicious. They are served at every holiday meal and loved by all who eat them.
