Notes: This recipe was given to me by my sister Susie years ago. I traditionally made them at Thanksgiving and sometimes for Christmas. One year I had made them on Christmas eve for our Christmas day dinner and had taken them out of the oven to cool when I left to make a run to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription before they closed for the holiday. When I came back, my brother Tim had come into the kitchen at dinner time (6:00 sharp in his mind), discovered them and ate almost all of these very yeasty rolls for his dinner! I had to start all over to have them for Christmas dinner. I learned not to leave temptation out. And these smell so good and taste so good...definitely tempting.
