These tender and delicious rolls have been a family favorite for decades. This recipe makes many rolls! How many?? Depends on how thick you cut the rolls, but somewhere around 2 dozen.

We always make them at the holidays and give them as gifts to friends. They are so good and are perfect for that special treat. An added bonus, they do freeze well.
