MIMI'S SWEET PETALS



Mimi's Sweet Petals image

As the title sounds, this yeast coffee cake is arranged on the pan, and is supposed to look like petals of a flower. The coating on the outside of the petals is a little crinkly because of the sugar. My granddaughter loves these. What better reason would anyone have for making something over and over again?

I adapted this recipe from the back of a frozen dinner roll package. You can prepare the rolls the night before for convenience. Then, bake them in the morning to make a lasting impression on guests as they step into the kitchen and smell the sweet aroma. -Celinda Skogsberg, Tuxedo Park, New York
