Dorothy’s Dinner Rolls by Karrie

3 Tblsp yeast dissolved in ½ cup warm water
1 cup sugar
6 eggs
1 ½ tsp salt
2 cubes soft butter
2 cups warm milk

Combine all of the above in a mixer. Add 8 ½ cups flour (1/2 at a time) and mix thoroughly. Place in a large greased bowl and let rise till dough is doubled or tripled. Roll out dough on a floured board (1/2 at a time). Cut dough into triangles using a pizza cutter. Roll up triangles to form crescent roll. Place on a greased cookie sheet and let rise. Bake at 375o for about 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.

Cinnamon Rolls
Use the same recipe as dinner roll dough and let rise once. Roll out dough (1/2 at a time) and cover with ¼ cup melted butter. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll, cut, place on cookie sheet and let rise. Bake 375o for 10-11 minutes or until golden brown. Frost with butter cream frosting.

Orange Rolls
Similar to cinnamon rolls, but instead of sprinkling with brown sugar and cinnamon use orange rind and juice from fresh squeezed orange. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Frost with orange frosting. Orange frosting is butter cream frosting with orange rind added. Use orange juice instead of milk.

CORA'S BAKED CABBAGE

This cabbage recipe is tradition in the Terry family. Probably young children will not care for it (my younger ones did not until they grew up a little more).

1 pound cabbage, coarsely shredded (about 7 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Dash of pepper
1 1/4 cups milk
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 cup shredded American cheese (or combination of American and Longhorn cheese)
2 tablespoons fine corn-flake crumbs

Cook cabbage in small amount of boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes or just until tender. Drain. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Melt butter and stir in flour, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Add milk and mustard and cook until thickened, stirring constantly, (like a white sauce).
Combine cabbage, sauce and half the cheese. Spoon into buttered round 1-quart casserole. Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixed with crumbs. Bake in moderate oven (350F) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

1/2 Chicken breast per serving, boned and skinned
1 slice chipped beef per chicken breast
1 can mushroom soup
1/2 slice bacon per chicken breast (I use center cut bacon)
1 pint sour cream per 6 chicken rolls
(We sometimes add a little more sour cream and soup and sometimes fresh sliced mushrooms to sauce for fun!)

Lay breast out flat, placing chipped beef over chicken flatly. Roll up with beef and point of chicken on inside. Wrap bacon around roll and place end down in pan. Mix soup and sour cream together and pour over rolls. Bake uncovered and 300 for at least 2 hours. Serve with rice or baked potato. Serves everyone, but we try and make leftovers because they're even better the next morning.
