Small batch Dinner Rolls

Small Batch Homemade Dinner Rolls Anybody else have snow in the forecast over the weekend?  I'm not ready for it just yet but looks like we will be getting some so I'll keep things warm while baking up Christmas loaves to put in the freezer for gifts.  I usually keep homemade dinner rolls in the freezer but I was out and needed something easy and fairly quick to go with supper the other day, so I whipped this small batch up.  This recipe makes 4 nice size dinner rolls that are fluffy and delicious.  These only have one rise in the pan which saves time over a second rise method. As many of you that have followed me for a long time know, my family always had bread in some form or fashion when it came mealtime.  Even loaf bread if nothing else, but we had bread.  Mama would make yeast rolls for special occasions but otherwise we had store bought heat n' serve dinner rolls.   I'll never forget one night Mama was late getting supper on the table, she h...

DIY, Brown Sugar

I made Brown Sugar tonight, I'll never buy it again.  Ingredients: 1 cup of granulated white sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons of molasses (adjust based on desired darkness) Instructions: 1. Gather the ingredients: make sure you have granulated white sugar and molasses on hand. 2. Measure the ingredients: in a mixing bowl, measure out 1 cup of granulated white sugar. 3. Add molasses: pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of molasses into the bowl with the sugar. Start with 1 tablespoon if you prefer a lighter brown sugar, or use 2 tablespoons for a darker and more robust flavor. 4. Mix thoroughly: using a fork or a whisk, blend the sugar and molasses together until the molasses is evenly distributed and no lumps remain. Continue mixing until the sugar takes on a uniform brown color. 5. Adjust to taste: if you prefer a stronger molasses flavor or a darker color, add more molasses in small increments and mix well until you achieve your desired result. 6. Store and use: transfer your homemade brown sugar to...
