Soft Dinner Rolls

This is a lovely dinner roll recipe to enjoy with any meal - we made this to go with our Thanksgiving dinner and they disappeared very quickly! My yeast didn't proof correctly, but I made them anyway, so mine didn't rise correctly and didn't come out quite as fluffy as they should have, but they were still wonderful. Very soft texture - sort of between a biscuit and a roll and perfect with a little butter and jam, or to sop up some gravy... yumm!

We will definitely use this one again - a great, easy, dinner roll recipe to keep on hand!
