Granny's Famous Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

Mount Juliet resident shares homemade sourdough cinnamon rolls with us

These cinnamon rolls have been in the Butler family for over 30 years using the sourdough starter that my husband's Grandmother has had active for over 40 years.  I now have a starter of her sourdough and make them in my kitchen.  These are delicious with a cup of my husband's locally roasted coffee-First Sip Coffee Roasters!  @llaurabutlerr  @firstsipcoffee.roasters
