A Southern Challenge

Virginia Willis, author of Bon Appétit, Y’all, threw out a challenge on her blog. She's started up Southern Saturdays with Virginia. She posts a recipe late in the week and her readers make the recipe and report back to Virginia. The premier recipe for Southern Saturdays is her grandmother Meme's Yeast Rolls.

Yes, I do love my Kitchen Aid mixer because this is a whole lotta dough to mix. I forget how wonderful rising dough smells, that yeasty beast working hard to achieve that smooth elastic dough. After two rises and a quick trip into the oven you get some wonderful and delicious rolls.

Wish I had made these back when I made the Black Bean and Pumpkin Stew. Delicious slightly sweet rolls perfect for creamy butter and a generous drizzle of honey. What a great start to fun Saturday cooking.
