Whole Wheat Rolls

I saw a recipe in a food magazine just recently for whole wheat rolls. you could freeze them and I thought I was going to make them but I lost the recipe. As I recall, you made the mix and made 3 little balls per roll and baked them in muffin tins and they turned out really classy. You could serve them or freeze them and reheat them again. I was wondering if anyone had the recipe.

Dandelion Greens

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. dandelion greens
  • Boiling salted water
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 Tbsp. butter

Directions

Dandelions should be used before they blossom, as they become bitter after that time. Cut off the roots. Pick the greens over carefully and wash them well in several waters. Place them in a kettle. Add a little boiling water and boil until tender. Salt the water just before cooking is completed. When done, lift them into a colander. Press them to drain off the water and chop, Add butter, salt, and pepper; toss. Make sure they are good and tender before eating!
