Southern Butter Rolls

Southern butter rolls are traditional pastries that originate from the states of the American South, such as Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas. They're usually made with a combination of flour, salt, butter, sugar, cinnamon or nutmeg, milk, and vanilla.

Visually, the pastries look similar to cinnamon rolls. These spiraled pastries are placed in a wide pan and baked in a sauce of sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon or nutmeg. Once baked, the sweet, sticky, and hot pastries are served straight out of the oven while still warm.
