Notes: This is one of Mom's recipes for what she calls a Quick Parker House Roll. - A Parker House roll is a bread roll made by flattening the center of a ball of dough with a rolling pin so that it becomes an oval shape and then folding the oval in half. They are made with milk and are generally quite buttery, soft, and slightly sweet with a crispy shell. - They were invented at the Parker House Hotel in Boston, during the 1870s, and are still served there. - The story of their creation has several variations, but they all involve an angry pastry cook throwing unfinished rolls into the oven, which resulted in their dented appearance. - The recipe for Parker House Rolls first started appearing in cookbooks in the 1880s.
