How to make Old Fashion Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls

We think this recipe was very popular in the early sixty’s when ladies were always looking for different ways to serve dinner. Remember the thousands of ways to serve Jello?  We think it was in the era that the housewives created new and different ways of using one tried and true bread recipe but baking it and serving it in ingenious ways.   The easy way the rolls are made to come apart after baking was and is still very appealing.   They are easily made using a muffin tin, and the rolls will separate into three or four pieces.   The trick is to make small pieces of dough and place 3-4 pieces into each cup of the tin.

 

I remember my girls used to help me by rolling up the balls of dough and placing it in the cupcake pans.  They loved making the little balls of dough and then pulling apart the cooked rolls and smearing them with butter.

 

This Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls Recipe would be great for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day and Easter Dinner, but don’t wait till a holiday to try these babies, they will make any dinner a special occasion. And if you made them with four parts, wouldn’t these Cloverleaf rolls be just perfect for St Patrick’s Day Dinner?
This classic dinner roll recipe is always our go-to recipes for all our celebrations.

    They look delicious. I'm not a bad cook (or baker), but baking good dinner rolls has totally escaped me. I can make great pies and breads, but the last time I made dinner rolls, I swear they could have been used as weapons! Got a catapult? Maybe I should try your recipe.

    Evelyn, these are just beautiful. I am not kidding you when I say that I consider a cloverleaf roll to be a work of art, and you nailed it. And "lotsa" butter? The exact right amount. 😉

    Love, Joy

    They looks so good! I've finally "mastered" my own dinner rolls, my recipe calls for milk but I use water. For some reason when I use milk, the rolls become dry and dense. But I like you like to enjoy the dinner rolls with lotsa butter! 🙂

    I love the idea of baking these from scratch. We normally go the lazy way and buy them, but I think I'll give these a try this year. Nothing beats the smell of fresh baked bread (not even turkey, in my opinion:) I wanted to say thanks for linking your recipe up to our Lovely Ladies link party, and to let you know I've featured them in a great round-up of Thanksgiving sides & appetizers. You can check it out if you'd like- http://bit.ly/18wRyOb
    Thanks so much- Molly from Just a Little Creativity
