Buttery "Parker House Rolls"

Day3: Even though I live only a few hours away from Boston, I am yet to taste the original Parker House Rolls( and the Boston Cream Pie) from the Parker's Restaurant. While that trip will have to wait, I couldn't resist trying them at home. I have been making these dainty buttery sweet rolls since last year after I started baking with yeast. The smell of these buttery rolls fresh from the oven makes me dizzy with want. I could easily finish off a dozen at one sitting with just a dab of butter and jelly. I just went with Pioneer Woman's recipe for making these itty bitty deliciousness.

I want this necklace so bad that I am checking it twice everyday. As if looking at twice would manifest this necklace on my neck!!! Wouldn't that be great though?? LoL. This is the most gorgeous necklace that I have seen in ages. I could probably wear this every single day. It is definitely a statement maker! 

Now onto the recipe-
