brötchen (dinner rolls)
I grew up on a farm and in the winter months when things were slow we spent a lot of time in the family woods making maple syrup for the family business. The days were long and hard and very cold so we were always froze when we back to the house. Grandma would make these rolls and I loved to pour butter and fresh syrup on these. I hope you enjoy them also.
