This is a great recipe for sweet, fluffy crescent rolls (kind of like a croissant but more dense). Ingredients:
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast |
3/4 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup shortening |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water.
2. Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Mix in remaining flour until smooth. Scrape dough from side of bowl. Knead dough, then cover it and let rise in a warm place until double (about 1-1/2 hours).
3. Punch down dough. Divide in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch circle. Spread with butter. Cut into 10 to 15 wedge. Roll up the wedges starting with the wide end. Place rolls with point under on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double (about 1 hour).
4. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 12-15 minute or until golden brown. Brush tops with butter when they come out.
