Directions (cont.)
Stir in 3 T water.
Divide mixture into 3 pans (8-inch cake pans).
Place 6 pieces in each pan.
Let raise for about 45 minutes.
Bake for 20 minutes in a 325°F oven.
When you take out of oven, turn each pan of rolls over on a plate, otherwise you will have a hard time getting them out when they cool.
If you can, let them cool slightly and enjoy them when they are still warm.
