Busy cleaning for tomorrow night – we were supposed to get snow, but it now looks like that system is staying south of us – and they need it. We’ll get ours, I’m sure, just not for Christmas. Thought I’d post a recipe for you before I check out for the weekend. From my blog: …

Garlic Pull Apart Rolls
- 3½ to 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 package Instant Yeast
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- ½ water
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- Butter and garlic for brushing on rolls
Mixing bowl, mixer, springform pan
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, sugar, instant yeast, garlic powder and salt.
Place the milk, water, and butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat until very warm (120° to 130°F). Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed with an electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
Add the egg and an additional ½ cup of the flour. Beat for 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour (up to ½ cup) to make a soft dough.
Knead with the dough hook for 2 minutes on medium speed or by hand on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Cover; let rest 10 minutes
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing with butter and adding a circle of parchment paper* on the bottom. Place a 4-ounce ramekin in the center of the pan and grease with butter.
Divide the dough into golf-ball sized balls. Arrange in rows ¼ inch apart in the prepared pan, allowing room to expand.
NOTE: See photos, I had a lot of extra dough, so once I prepped around the ramekin, I removed the bowl and added the remaining dough and once they baked, popped them out and added the butter filled bowl
Cover and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Once rolls have risen, preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the rolls for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and 200 degrees F in the center. Brush with garlic butter and serve warm with whipped garlic butter.
* I skipped the parchment and used corn meal sprinkled on the bottom.

Here’s a bonus Scout saying Happy Holidays! (Actually, she’s saying “I was promised cheese”). The other two were being difficult and refused photos.

I finally got them to settle down enough…but there wasn’t going to be a group photo this year.

And she always looks like that when I take her photo, antlers or not…clearly not a fan of paparazzi

And yes, Momsense, that is one of the scarves you made for the ducks. 😁
