Moravian Feast Buns

This is a great roll recipe that has just a hint of nutmeg flavor.  It makes for a delicious and unusual flavor.  I first tried these rolls at my friend, Shauna Payne's house.  She is a fantastic bread baker and seemed to always have a new bread recipe she was trying.  I'm so glad she shared the recipe!
