“One of our Christmas breakfast traditions – we make cherry, apricot and blueberry.”

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

* 1 cup shortening
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
* 2 1/2 cups scalded milk
* 4 egg yolks, beaten

DIRECTIONS

3. Make a depression into the center of each roll. Fill with fruit preserves.
