Some desserts come with a story. This one comes with my Dad🕊️.
Butter Rolls are an old-fashioned Southern treat, loved in Tennessee and Mississippi kitchens for generations. They're one of my Dad's all-time favorites, and I learned to make them just for him. This Thanksgiving, I'm sharing them with your family for the very first time.
Each roll is made from soft dough, spread with butter, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, and rolled into a swirl. Then all six bake together in a sweet, buttery cream sauce that soaks into every layer. The tops come out golden and sugary, and the bottoms stay soft and custardy. Serve them warm with a spoonful of the sauce from the pan.
At Cretia Cakes, we're on a mission to bring back the lost cakes and desserts of the South, one family recipe at a time. This one is especially close to my heart.
What you get:
- 6 butter rolls baked in their own pan
- Best served warm. Reheat at 300°F for 10–15 minutes.
