Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Grandma Dahl would show us over and over again how to make these. She was such a perfectionist in the kitchen and everyone loved her cooking. These rolls had to be hidden before it was time to eat, otherwise, we wouldn't have any left for leftover turkey sandwiches for the day after Thanksgiving. -Jacque
