A nostalgic dessert consisting of soft, pillowy dough rolls baked in a rich, sweet sauce of milk, butter, and vanilla. As they bake, the rolls soak up the liquid, creating a custard-like bottom and a golden, fluffy top. This "poor man's cobbler" is a classic Southern comfort treat that is best served warm from the oven.
