• Add cold milk all at once.
• Stir to form a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board.

• Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
• (Line underneath the rack with paper towels to catch the gooey drippings).
• Combine the confectioners' sugar with the vanilla, and then add enough milk to make a thin glaze.
• Drizzle this over the rolls while still warm.
• Eat with a cup of tea or coffee and expect rave reviews from friends and family!
