Buttery Pan Rolls (for the Bread Machine)

LonghornMama's Note:

From a Favorite Brand Name Recipes book. I've made too many yeast roll recipes to count but these are my hands down favorite. I make them for all holiday meals and whenever bringing dinner to someone. It's really easy with the bread machine and everyone loves them. It's a lot of butter but don't scrimp, they're well worth it! I've doubled the recipe and either baked in two pans or in a 13x9 pan. If you do this, just watch the baking time and make sure the middle rolls are cooked through.

Great buns!! Next time I will 1 1/2 times the recipe. I think that recipe amount would be good for a 8x8 pan but was not enough for an 9x13.

These were so easy and SOOOO tasty!! Even my picky daughter loved them! I did as another reviewer and pinched the dough into 16 equal pieces and then rolled them in my hands to make round balls. They looked awesome! A definite must-do again!

These turned out perfect. Even though there are 13 photos of the rolls, I just had to take a picture so I could remember how great they are. I adjusted the flour to water ratio once the bread machine began kneading so that I had a wetter than usual dough but it was not so wet as to be consider a batter. A great recipe to use over and over again.
