Mom Hartley's Sweet Rolls

Our Grandma is a great teacher! Here we are, early one morning last week, learning how to make Great-great-great Mom Hartley's Sweet Rolls. It's a beloved family recipe. Grandma Bobbie's Grandpa (Granddad Hartley) owned and operated the bakery in town. This is their recipe, as taught 3 and 4 generations later!

After the dough has risen, you roll it out, slather on the melted butter, sprinkle w/ cinnamon sugar, roll it up and slice them



Then the rolls have to raise...soon they'll be ready!

~Next, you fry them, till their golden brown, then drizzle them w/ icing...

...and they were delicious...


~Our Grandma is as sweet as the rolls she makes~
{I was thinking how unbelievably rare it is, for a Great-Grandma to be teaching her Great-Grandson...anything! Many women are too busy for such things. So glad she isn't! That's what memories are made of}

Meg,

I made those rolls not too long along...they were AWESOME!! I figured out that before a first baking adventure, make sure you have all the necessities (i.e., rolling pin)....don't ask what I used.. hahaha!!

God bless Grandma Bobbie!!
