My first post! This is a recipie for rolls that my Mom used to make for the holidays. I took over when I was a teenager and now my kids love them! They get really dissapointed if I don't make them for Thanksgiving and Christmas! I'm posting the original recipie, but I ususally use all butter in place of the shortening. Enjoy!!! Also, DON'T use rapid rise yeast.
