  *  Holiday rolls with oatmeal and molasses -- This        
  recipe has long been part of my Thanksgiving              
  tradition. I have long since forgotten its source.        
                                                            
  *  These rolls are really wonderful, but they need        
  time to rise. start them as early in the day as           
  possible. Don't even think about using the quick-rise     
  yeasts.                                                   
                                                            
  : Difficulty:  easy to moderate.
