Momma's Hot Rolls - From Momma's Recipe Box

One of the fondest memories of my youth was the smell of fresh baking rolls. I still remember the fragrance permeating the house and the exquisite anguish of anticipation, knowing we would be waiting several hours for the rolls to be ready. Ahh! But it was definitely worth the wait. We knew the minute they were out of the oven we were in for a treat. While they were still hot, we've slather them with butter and jelly or jam. Then, we'd grab a tall glass of milk and "pig-out". Momma's Hot Rolls 2 cups milk
