Grandma Vera Jean’s Bow Knot Orange Rolls

These rolls are famous in the Jones family because Granna made them for Thanksgiving and for special occasions. They have been a family favorite for years.

1 1/4 c. scalded milk
1/2 c. Butter or Shortening
1/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 pkg. Yeast
2 eggs beaten
1/4 c. orange juice
2 T orange peel
4-5 c. flour

Combine milk, butter and sugar and cool to luke warm and soften yeast in the mixture. Add eggs, juice and peel. Beat thoroughly and add flour next. Mix to a soft dough. Cover and let stand for 10 min. Place in greased bowl and let rise in a warm place until dough is double.
Bake on 400 degrees until golden brown for 15-20 min.
Glaze with a mixture of powdered sugar, orange peel, orange juice and a little butter until you get a smooth fairly runny consistency.

Refrigerator Rolls

This is a great recipe that Mom always used for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They taste great with homemade jam!

2 packets of dry yeast dissolved in 1/4 c. warm water
4 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. melted butter
1 c. warm water
3 beaten eggs
2 tsp. Salt

Mix all ingredients except for yeast and flour. Add yeast after ingredients are mixed. Then add flour, stirring until smooth- about seven minutes. Beating is important. Batter will be sticky and stiff.

Leave dough out for 1 hour to let rise. Stir down, cover and put in refrigerator overnight with a plate on top. Remove from refrigerator 3 1/2 hours before baking. Divide in half and roll it out. Use a small to medium sized glass to cut circles into the dough. Take each circle and spread it thick with butter. Fold it over with the butter inside. Bake at 425 or 400 for 12 minutes.

Garlic Rolls

These are so easy and have made me famous in the Jones family.

Ingredients:

Rhodes rolls (in freezer section, you want the rolls not the loaf)
Butter (melted, amount depends on how many you're cooking. Enough to coat the rolls.)
Garlic salt
Parmesan Cheese (shredded or grated)

Just let the rolls rise according to package. Then cover in butter, sprinkle on garlic salt and cheese right before you bake. Then bake according to package. You can also make sticky buns! Just dip the dough in butter and then roll in cinnamon and sugar. Stack them in a bundt cake type pan and bake.
