Grandma's Rolls This is a recipe that I adapted slightly from one my grandma used to make when I was a kid. First you take 1/2 cup of warm water ( warm to the touch, but not hot) and put 2T of yeast in. I then let it sit for about 5 minutes for it to "proof". I should look like the above picture when it is ready. While the yeast is "proofing" I take 1/2 C each of sugar, milk, and butter. I microwave them for about 1 1/2 minutes on high. You can also put them in a sauce pan and "scald" the mixture, but I find the microwave works well. your goal is to heat the mixture so that it is hot and the butter is melted. After it has heated to that point, you need to let it cool some so you do not kill the yeast when it is added. It should cool until it is warm to the touch, but not hot.  Then you add your "proofed" yeast mixture to the warm butter, sugar, and milk mixture. Next you take 2 eggs and slightly beat them. Then

Grandma Nathan's German Pancakes A few notes before I begin; First I have always know these as german pancakes, but a friend of mine told me he knew them as Swedish.  Second as this recipe was never written down and I learned to make them by sight, I have gone back and created this recipe, hopefully faithfully to what I was taught hands on. This recipe is for one servings. It can multiplied easily for more people.  In a 2 quart mixing bowl put one egg and 1/4 cup milk beat together until mixed add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla  add 2 T sugar mix well  Add 1/2 cup flour mix well, the consistency should be of a thin paste add ice cold water until it is the consistency of milk the mixture should well blended and have airbubbles I spray pam on my griddle, but they can also be cooked in a fry pan on medium heat When they are ready to flip the should no longer be glossy When flipped they should be lightly browned
