Even the beginner cook can make these. And they're true home-made rolls. They must chill 2 hours. Or you can make them up 3 days in advance.

    Came out great. I substituted honey for the sugar and dissolved it with the yeast. Thanx for the post.

    I may never make rolls the "hard way" ever again! I made the dough the night before, so it was SO easy! These rolls were sweet and fluffy - we ate half a pan! (I still don’t know why I bothered to make anything else for dinner!) My dough was a little sticky when I tried to form the rolls, so I just greased my hands with butter. A little messy, but it made the process easier! Thanks, MizzNezz! Great recipe!

    These were excellent! I thought the taste was wonderful and they looked beautiful. The dough was so easy to work with and rose just fine for me. I served these as part of my Thanksgiving meal and everyone commented on how light and fluffy these rolls were. Delicious!NOTE: I did knead the dough a bit before refrigerating it, even though the instructions didn't mention kneading.

    I made these super-easy rolls for Easter dinner. Nothin' to putting them together, chilling, and baking. They came out light and fluffy, and sooo tasty! You're right, Nezz, a beginner cook would have no trouble with these! Good, good recipe ... Laudee
