Yeast Rolls, cont.
I actually made the yeast rolls! They were not as good as Grandma's, but I learned that they taste better the more melted butter you spread on them (shocker!). I made a few adjustments: instead of lard, I used vegetable shortening and I ran out of white flour and put about half wheat flour instead (which made them turn out a tad bit dry). Bessie's recipe is quite large and there was certainly enough dough for me to put in the "ice box" for next time. In the end, though, we had a nice smelling house and some lovely cheddar/ham rolls for dinner!

Merry Christmas!!!
Dear family and friends,
For the first blog entry, we're uploading Mildred Pointer's recipe for yeast rolls. I fondly remember the smell of these rolls, although I don't know how to get a hold of some lard (another recipe used margarine instead), I can't wait to fill my own home with that aroma!
What better time to "soft launch" our website dedicated to the Taylor matriarch than this day of family togetherness! Merry Christmas and may this year be full of yeast rolls, jello salads, and elegant moments of hospitality!
For the baking instructions, I turned to another online recipe for these instructions:
Make walnut size balls of dough. Place about 2 inches apart in well-buttered 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 30-45 minutes. Brush top of rolls with margarine while hot.
Please share how this recipe worked for you and enjoy some photos of Christmases past!
