MOM'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH DINNER ROLLS
My mom made these rolls for every occasion I can remember. They are originally in a little cookbook by Beverly Nye from Cleveland, Ohio. They are practically no fail, since there is no kneading involved. They are always light, tender, and delicious, and so popular that I usually plan on at least two per person rather than the one indicated here. They are also really convenient since you make the dough the night before and refrigerate it for the first rise. The times indicated do not include refrigerating overnight or the 2 hours they take to raise before baking. (P.S. Thanks for the photo Danielle)

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water and add 1 tablespoon sugar and baking powder. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile scald milk. Add margarine, 1/3 cup sugar and salt. Cool a little and then add eggs. (I do this step in my 4 c glass measure in the microwave.).
- Combine all with flour. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (The dough will more than double in bulk, so make sure your container is big enough. If it looks like it might outgrow its bowl, you can always punch it down once or twice without any ill effects.).
- Two hours before serving, divide dough into thirds and roll out into large circles about 9 inches in diameter on a floured surface. The dough will be sticky, but don't worry. It will quickly come together and handle really well with a few sprinklings of flour (not too much). Cut into 8 wedges and make crescent rolls by starting at the wide end and rolling up. Place on greased pans to rise, covered with clean towels.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Mom always rubbed the hot rolls with a stick of butter when they came out of the oven, and I do, too. It makes them so beautiful.

PECAN CRESCENT COOKIES
The recipe for these melt-in-your-mouth pecan crescent cookies has been in my family for years," says Marilynn Bonecki of Marengo, Illinois. "They can be made a couple of weeks in advance, but it's hard to keep them in the house that long." Be sure to chill the dough overnight before shaping and baking the cookies.

Tips:
- Activate the yeast properly: Ensure the water is warm enough (around 105-115°F) to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, it won't activate properly.
- Knead the dough well: Kneading the dough helps develop the gluten, which gives the rolls their structure and chewiness. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place (around 75-80°F) for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
- Roll the dough out evenly: When rolling out the dough, make sure to use a light touch and roll it out evenly. This will help ensure that the rolls bake evenly.
- Don't overfill the rolls: When filling the rolls, don't overfill them, or they will be difficult to roll up and seal properly.
- Brush the rolls with melted butter before baking: Brushing the rolls with melted butter before baking will help them brown and give them a nice shine.
- Bake the rolls until they are golden brown: Bake the rolls until they are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
Conclusion:
These melt-in-your-mouth pecan rolls are the perfect treat for any occasion. With their gooey, sweet filling and flaky, buttery crust, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give these pecan rolls a try. You won't be disappointed!
