Grandma Jeri's Rolls

Every year I have looked forward to Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner for one reason. Her rolls. I loved going over and visiting with her and being with the family, but nothing beat her heavenly soft hot rolls. Nothing. Every year there were never enough because I am not the only one who felt this way. All of my many cousins and aunts and uncles loved them as much as I did. They disappeared faster than her pies did (and her pies are incredible.)

A year or two ago my cousin got many of Grandma's favorite recipes and compiled them into a family cookbook. I am so happy she did, because now, on this fine autumn day, I am going to make Grandma's rolls for dinner tonight. I can't wait to eat them again.

Grandma's Buttermilk Rolls

What you need:

3 cups warm buttermilk
4 1/2 tsp yeast
2 TBSP warm water
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c melted shortening
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp soda
2 tsp salt
5 cups flour (about)

What to do:

Mix buttermilk, yeast, and water together and let rise for 1 hour until it forms a sponge. Separately cream shortening, sugar and eggs. Sift flour, soda, and salt together. When yeast mixture is ready combine all ingredients together. Let rise for 1 hour then kneed. Put into loaf pans and let rise until double in size. Pull apart into roll size and let rise. Bake at 350 until golden brown.

Delicious! As soon as I can find where my son hid my SD card converter I will post pictures. Until then, make your own and discover a mouth full of memories.

Buen Provecho!
