This is a homemade roll recipe from my sister's mother-in-law. I make these for every holiday or special meal and my family wouldn't have it any other way! They are the best served with the honey butter.
I halved the recipe. The rolls I ended up with are really good, but I had to adjust the recipe to make it work. I used a stand mixer. So I proofed my yeast in the bowl and added the oatmeal mixture ( which required over half an hour to cool enough to not kill the yeast ) Just reading the recipe I knew there was too much sugar for our tastes, so I reduced that to 1/2 cup for half the recipe. After adding all the flour the dough was still far too wet and I lost track of how much more I had to add. The final result was worth it, yielding 15 generous size rolls with just the right degree of sweetness.
