Overnight Refrigerator Rolls

My quest for easy and tasty dinner rolls led me to this recipe for Overnight Refrigerator Rolls. We thought they were good, I stuck to the recipe and didn't add any whole wheat flour or herbs. I would use some wheat the next time. What I liked was having the mixing (and associated dishes washed) the night before and working with the chilled dough was very nice. We enjoyed them with a drizzle of honey!

This recipe makes 12 large 3" rolls, I'd call them hamburger buns. 
They even had that shape...
Definitely regular cheeseburger size:@)
