Butterhorn Rolls
These rolls have been on the Thanksgiving dinner table ever since I can remember and are a classic at my house. Not only that, they are absolutely TO DIE FOR good. Once the first batch comes out of the oven, everyone runs to the kitchen, and my mom, armed with a broom, starts whacking people away. Well.... not really. But there is yelling and scolding involved :) This is the first year that I'm going to be away from home for Thanksgiving so I'll be making them on my own. My mom assures me that they are easy so hopefully it goes well for me. Give it a try yourself! They are truly the most amazing rolls.
