Once a year Daily Dozen Ministry, a prayer ministry, meets at our home for dinner. And being the generous people that they are, they insist on bringing something for the meal. Last fall, Dottie Dooley brought Myrtle’s Feather Rolls. They were a hit. It turns out that Dottie’s mother got the recipe from her friend Myrtle. So Dottie has been enjoying the rolls for well over 60 years, and hasn’t had a stale one yet! This weekend, when I called Dottie to discuss the recipe, she had just made a batch for Friday night guests.
The rolls pictured are actually ones that Dottie brought to our house, and left behind for Ron and I. Somehow, I never got around to making them, but now after preparing this post, I am itching to make them myself.
