Has anyone heard of or made the following recipe? I found it on (m)

[misplaced-in-az]

www.nancys-kitchen.com. There were several recipes for this, but basically the same outcome.

Is this known more from a particular part of the US?

Butter Rolls

2 cups flour

3 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 Tbls. shortening

Hot water

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Milk (enough to cover rolls)

Mix flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Add enough hot water from the faucet, to make mixture like biscut dough. Roll dough out like pie dough. Put butter and sugar on crust. Roll up and pinch ends. Lay rolls in deep pan. Add vanilla to milk and pour over rolls. Bake 400º until golden brown and sauce is thickened.

NOTE: One of the recipes says to roll out the dough and cut out saucer size circles. Proceed as above.

Are they saying to shape crescent rolls?

I'm confused lol... "like pie dough" seems straightforward enough but "put butter and sugar on crust" means what exactly? I can think of three different possibilities.

Maybe I'm just worn out- I've been moving all day.

The milk is an interesting touch.

It says nothing about shaping like a cresent. Just to lay in a pan. I (M)

I have never heard of this particular recipe and just wondering if anyone on this board is familiar with the recipe and what region it originates from. This definitely is not diet food!!!

Yes, you are right, thus my confusion

It says to make dough, roll out "like pie dough" which to me sounds like rolling it out in one big flat sheet. Then it says to roll up, pinch... and lay 'rolls' in pan. If I were to follow this, I would have one big tube like cinnamon rolls before cutting them, wouldn't I? Am I missing something, or is it skipping a step somewhere?

So, I'm stuck on when and where do the rolls get formed? From your addendum I took it to mean something similar to crescent rolls?

I'm not trying to split hairs or be picky, honest. I'm rather inclined to give this a try as it sounds like something my son would enjoy helping with, and I could turn them into chocolate decadence easily (I think- since I've been pregnant I've been trying to do that to everything I make lol).
