Fluffy Dinner Rolls

Sometimes when out for a banquet/dinner/wedding at a hotel or banquet hall, baskets of dinner rolls arrive with plates of butter also on the table.

Often, I am hungry and I wait for the go ahead to grab a roll (or two), smear some butter and bite into these pillows of gluten goodness.

Yesterday I enjoyed Thanksgiving Dinner with my family and I made these rolls to complement the meal.

Biting into these bread rolls makes one grateful and thankful. Enjoy!
