Leap Day Morning Rolls

Today I am going to share with you my family's favorite breakfast item....Christmas Morning Rolls.  We used to only eat these on Christmas Morning (hence the name) but now we make them for any special occasion so their name is always changing.  Sometimes they're Birthday Morning Rolls, Easter Morning Rolls, or just Friday Morning Rolls - I'm always trying to think of a reason to make them.  Today we can call them "Leap Day Morning Rolls"!

Thank you Gram for sharing this recipe with my family!!!!  

I think the best recipes are those that are passed down.  Gram was a family friend but I will always consider her family.  She was known for her homemade biscuits, spicy cheerio chex mix and of course these rolls.  Her personality can be summed up by a single cheer, "Rocky Top!"
