Notes
This is my mother-in-law's recipe that has very special meaning this week. She has been making these rolls with her mom growing up, and this week, my husband’s grandma (her mom), passed away. We will be making these rolls on Christmas, as we always do, but for the first year without her. It’s a beautiful tradition that has already been carried down to the younger generation, making this 3-generations tradition of making the rolls.
