Every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember, My Uncle D has made the most yummy rolls for our dinner. It's actually my Grandma's recipe, but I can only remember Uncle D making them. He makes MANY batches because they're so yummy that you could eat a dozen, easily! And, we HAVE to have enough dough left over to make cinnamon rolls the next morning.
There have been a few years where we couldn't make it to our family Thanksgiving, and Uncle D made sure to try to tempt us with homemade rolls. We begged him to save us some, to overnight mail them to us...but he said no way! You must be present to partake!
And all along I've had the recipe in my family cookbook, but I haven't attempted it...until now.
Thanksgiving is at our house this year, and I decided to make the "Uncle D" rolls. So, my mom, in her infinite wisdom, suggested that we practice before the big day. What a concept! While our boys golfed on Sunday afternoon, Mom and I broke out the cookbook and made the rolls. And guess what? They were AMAZING! They're a bit of work, but SO worth it.
And if we have rolls, then my husband will bounce them on the floor (or at least appear to), and we will all squeal in delight.

Hey - I wanna see the bread-bouncing trick. :-D
Oh, the bread bouncing trick makes an appearance EVERY holiday, and any other time I can convince him to do it. I wonder how long til Lil Major attempts to bounce a roll???
