Great recipe. Light and fluffy. I used lard instead of shortening, and the rolls stayed nice and moist. Next time I'll use 1/4 butter, for added flavor. Will make again often.

I had never made buns in my life, but i thought it was time to give it a try. and this recipe was very easy. i wasnt sure what shortening was! and i only put 1 cup of water. and they still turned out really good. i put melted butter on them when they came out. im trying again today, and put butter in as shortening. so im sure they will be even better today.

I used butter instead of shorting, but these were still quite bland, but wonderful texture. The dough was very soft, and sticky, just to warn everyone. May make them again because they are so easy, but would add something for flavor.

After cooking, these freeze and defrost nicely when you just need a few at a time. I used real butter rather than the shortening and also doubled the water following another reviewer's strong suggestion. My husband,usually not enticed by bread, gives this two thumbs up! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

These were soft, but a little on the bland side. My husband liked them, though.

My husband was in love with the JP Big Daddy Biscuit. I made these dinner rolls one night and bam he has a new favorite. These turned out so well. The only thing I changed was I put them into a greased cupcake pan to let them rise and cook. Worked like a charm and boy did they go over well. They travel well too. I sent a batch from Michigan to my husbands family in Philadelphia. I wrapped them right after cooking them and mailed them right off and they arrived via priority shipping and fresh as the day I made them. They all loved them and served them for Mothers day dinner.

I MADE THESE ROLLS FOR SUNDAY DINNER AND THEY WERE PERFECT. I USED BUTTER INSTEAD OF SHORTENING AND I ADDED A BIT MORE FLOUR. THE ROLLS ARE SUPER SOFT AND HAVE GOOD FLAVOR. EASY TO MAKE.

I loved the texture and the "softness" of this roll. After taking these out of the oven and tasting I thought they were a little tastless. I melted some butter and added some garlic salt and spread on top of each roll. I returned them to the oven for 3 minutes and they were so much better.

I forgot to put eggs in & my dough didn't turn out sticky as Norma mentioned but rolls were still super soft!! I also cut down on salt & added more sugar in; brushed some honey/coconut milk mixture on rolls after 15mins of baking then baked for another 5mins, they tasted just perfect! Highly recommend - a definite keeper! Will make them again & again!!! Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful recipe!!

I made these for Christmas. The recipe was easy, they looked great and were pillow soft, however I did not care for the taste. I was hoping for a roll where you could smell the yeast while baking and taste while eating and I didn't get that with this recipe.

These didn't have any flavor at all. Maybe I did something wrong but they weren't all that soft and aside from that no flavor.

This recipe's a winner! As others suggested, I brushed melted butter over the rolls when they came out of the oven. I made the 24 rolls required by the recipe, but they were pretty big. Next time I might make 30 smaller rolls. I'll definitely make these again. They're simple, light and tasty.

Excellent texture, lacking in taste. Just needs some butter flavored shortening and more salt.

Superb ! Wish I could give more than a 5 rating. Needed about 1 hand of flour when forming them into a ball for 2nd. rising. I never tasted a better roll. ! ! ! Nothing like these 'old time' recipies. Strong suggestion, you double the water input. I use butter flavored Crisco as shorting, and so much nicer and lighter. Much nicer roll. Made several times already.

I've made these rolls twice now, the first time I changed the servings to 15 instead of 24, and both times they tasted wonderful! They were a little more dense than I wanted, maybe I did something wrong, but they do taste great and it's an easy recipe. I also brushed them with butter when they were done.

I made these on a whim and brought them to my mom's for Thanksgiving. This makes a LOT of rolls, and they were all gone before the end of dinner. They taste very homemade, yeasty and rich. I thought that they were an easily made recipe. I thought (myself) that they didn't brown up in the time given in the recipe, but that might be just my oven. I would definitely recommend these to someone looking for a really good comfort food hot roll recipe!
