I can't say that I have ever eaten at a Texas Roadhouse. But I sure have heard a fair amount about the rolls they serve there. So when I came across a recipe I thought I would make them to see what all the fuss is about.
The rolls puff up quite a bit in the oven and are super fluffy with a buttery taste to them. I can see why there is such a fuss over these rolls.
