A hint of sweetness in these tender buns brings in many compliments. Served warm with butter or jam, they're a big hit at any meal. They re-heat nicely, too.

These were a hit at Christmas dinner! As written, the recipe does make some pretty monstrous rolls, so you might consider dividing into at least 20 pieces instead of 16. And the baking time is much longer than was needed! I think mine baked in 20-25 minutes.

I have made these rolls at least three times...they're delicious! (I do shorten the bake time as they are a bit dry when baked for 35 minutes.)

These rolls are addictive! They are so wonderful fresh from the oven, or even zapped in the microwave for a few seconds to warm the next day. The first time I made these, I followed the directions, however, that made for some pretty large rolls. The next couple of times, I made them smaller--even made them into smaller balls to fit inside typical muffin pans. I prefer them in the smaller muffin-pan size. Regardless, these will be eaten FAST! They are very easy to make and very delicious.

Fantastic flavor and so incredibly easy to work with! I didn't even have time to let them raise for the entire time, and they still turned out wonderful! They're a tender roll with just a hint of sweetness. Delicious!

Not sweet at all not light and fluffy. I bake almost everyday so I know my stuff and I thought let me try someone elses recipe for sweet dinner rolls, I wont make that mistake again they are very heavy not dinner rolls at all. I will stick to my own recipes.

Beautiful dough to work with! I made 24 crescent shaped rolls and brushed them with melted butter after baking. Absolutely delicious! Will make these again and again!

These were very delicious. I made the rolls smaller so that there was 32 of them, and cooked a bit faster. I was amazed at how tasty they were- slightly sweet and very soft in the middle. My husband and family also enjoyed them.

I made these delicious rolls yesterday and we really enjoyed them. I have some toasting in the oven as I write this and can't wait to smear a big spoon of orange marmalade on them. I will definitely use this recipe again.
