FLOWER PETAL SWEET ROLLS

Flower Petal Sweet Rolls image

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
