How to Make Clover Leaf Rolls Recipe
Clover Leaf Rolls Recipe Description
This is a very old recipe. The original clover leaf rolls recipe calls for shortening in the ingredients. Shortening is not exactly healthy for you. So, we altered the recipe, substituting butter or margarine instead of shortening. And it does not alter the flavor all that much. Making clover leaf rolls from scratch is fairly easy. The finished rolls will resemble a three-leaf clover. You and your family will be glad you made this recipe.
Yield: 12 rolls
