This recipe was taught to me by an elderly woman who learned it from her grandmother. I modified to utilize the bread machine for the dough process.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Making yeast rolls in the bread maker couldn't be easier. The machine does all the hard work with the dough. When it comes out, cut the dough into pieces, form into rolls, and put them in the muffin tin. The result is the cutest yeast rolls. Light and airy with a hint of butter, they're beautiful on a holiday table but easy enough for an everyday meal.
