Very good and easy. Light and yummy. The kids loved them and so did I. The dough doubled in size after only 4-5 hours in the fridge, which was good because I'd started in the morning and wanted to bake them for supper and didn't have time to leave them in the fridge for the full 8 hours. I made 12 rolls for supper and froze the other 2/3 of the dough for later.
