Nanny's Dinner Rolls

1970's Deming,NM · Nanny’s cookbook — Dorothy Bishop

I can hardly remember a Sunday dinner with Nanny and Grandpa that we didn't have Nanny's Dinner Rolls. This is another recipe that I wrote down one day while Nanny lovingly measured out each ingredient, (something she was not accustomed to doing) but she was very patient as I wrote down everything she said. This is also a recipe that I made while in Germany, it truely was fun to go back and make many things from scratch that we had on a regular basis when I was growing up.
