Personal Notes:
Great-Great Greema Wilma Harkins was always making hot rolls or bread for family gatherings. PopBob wanted to know how she did it and she gave him this way to make them. When he asked her how much a 'palm full' was she simply held out her hand and said, "This much". When he asked her how much was a 'glug of oil' was she said to tip the bottle and pour out until it GLUGS. He asked "What is everlasting yeast?" She replied, Oh You know that jar I keep near the stove and add to it from time to time? Well that's the everlasting yeast, the only yeast I had to bake with for years."
It took a few times to 'fine tune' the recipe to his liking but finally 'got it'. I just thought you might like to have this recipe for a smile or two.
