My Mother’s Parker House Rolls

BethComments Off on My Mother’s Parker House Rolls

(Insert a long rambling story about searching for years and years for this cookbook- reality is I picked it up in Virginia at McKay Books.)

I’m not sure about the age of said cookbook but it is older and as such isn’t as user friendly as contemporary cookbooks. It assumes that you have a basic knowledge of making breads and know what a pocketbook roll is- I didn’t so a quick google search led me to Spicy Southern Kitchen.

Google has given the answer that a hot oven is between 400-450 degrees. Any other questions? I have no clue the answers.
