This recipe is like one that has been in our family for years. My grandmother, mother, sisters, nieces, and I all make these at Christmas. I have also seen this recipe in a Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook from the 1960s.

This is the simplest and most delicious of all recipes. Yes, brings back the Better Homes & Garden nostalgia of the sixties.

I lost this recipe when my mother passed away Feb. '08. She made these every Christmas. She would make many rolls and freeze them until she was ready to bake a batch. Thanks for helping me preserve one of my mother's recipes.
