Personal Notes:
These are the rolls I make for Thanksgiving Dinner. I like this recipe because the dough is quite sweet. I also make crescent rolls sometimes by rolling dough out to 1/4", cutting into triangles with a pizza cutter, and rolling up into a crescent starting with the large end of the triangle.
