This recipe was taught to me by an elderly woman who learned it from her grandmother. I modified to utilize the bread machine for the dough process.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Making yeast rolls in the bread maker couldn't be easier. The machine does all the hard work with the dough. When it comes out, cut the dough into pieces, form into rolls, and put them in the muffin tin. The result is the cutest yeast rolls. Light and airy with a hint of butter, they're beautiful on a holiday table but easy enough for an everyday meal. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Modernized Old-Fashioned Yeast Rolls

Step-by-Step

To the bread machine, add ingredients in the following order: flour, sugar, salt, half & half, butter, water, eggs, vanilla, then yeast. If you do not have a jar of yeast, you can use 2 packets and it will work just fine.
Set machine to bread dough cycle.
When 15 minutes remain in the bread dough cycle, preheat oven to 375.
Grease a cupcake pan.
Place dough onto a floured surface. Lightly dust the top of the dough with flour.
Cut the dough into 36 pieces.
Place 3 balls into each cupcake mold.
Bake for 18-22 minutes.
Baste lightly with butter.
Allow to cool. Enjoy!
