One Thanksgiving, someone requested homemade dinner rolls. I had never made them before and searched for an easy recipe. I stumbled upon this and I make them every year now! I love the simplicity of it and you can spice it up however you want! I’ve added sugar on top and another time I put rosemary on top. so. good. Anywho, it’s now a staple! I made them a few weeks ago per my husbands’ request and made a TikTok out of it and now people want the recipe so here it is! I do not know where I found the original recipe so I cannot tag the original creator.
