Author Notes

From my great grandmother. We have them every Thanksgiving and Christmas. You make the dough ahead of time and you don't have to knead them. You can form them in any roll shape you like; I usually do them as cloverleaf rolls. —mtncook

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 2 cups milk, scalded and cooled
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted in the hot milk

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

You're right. I omitted the sugar. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup, which I thought was too much. I use a scant 1/3 cup.

My great grandparents bought a resort in Old Mission, MI, in 1895 and ran it as that until 1946.
