Comfort Food

I was under the weather all weekend and I'm still feeling a bit puny.  I should have forced the doctor to give me a shot instead of pills.  I know, I know...who asks for a shot?

Anyway, I haven't been really hungry since I really can't taste anything.  Sunday afternoon, I decided I was in the mood for some comfort food.  What I had in mind was a recipe I have been making for years that I got from Mama's best friend, Vickey.  She made these butter rolls when I was little that I swear are like crack.  It's physically impossible to eat just one.  Even better, it's just three simple ingredients.

2 sticks butter (I use REAL butter and I always bake with salted butter unless the recipe calls for salt)
1 cup sour cream (the rolls might be fine with low-fat, but with two sticks of butter, why bother?)
2 cups self-rising flour

Combine very soft butter with the sour cream and flour and mix until well incorporated.  Scoop into either regular or mini-muffin tins.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until golden brown.  I made full-size rolls and they took between 25-30 minutes to cook.

I didn't eat any when they finished cooking last night, but they made a great breakfast this morning.  I'll probably make something for dinner tonight that works with these (or maybe I'll just eat half of the pan as my dinner!)

I had planned to snap a picture this morning, but I was running late (thanks Benadryl and Sudafed for making it impossible to wake up) and left the house without a picture.  Anyway, any picture I took would not have done justice to just how good these rolls are.  Trust me, all the fat and calories are 100% worth it when you bite in to one of these!
