Ingredients:
2 packages dry yeast |
1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar, divided |
1 cup lukewarm water (105° to 115°) |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup boiling water |
2 eggs, beaten |
6 cups all-purpose flour |
melted butter or margarine |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in lukewarm water in a small bowl; set aside.
2. Combine shortening, remaining sugar, salt, and boiling water, stirring until shortening melts. Cool to 105° to 115°. Add yeast mixture and eggs; mix well. Gradually stir in flour to make a soft dough.
3. Place dough in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. Punch dough down, and divide into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle 12 inches in diameter and 1/4-inchthick on a lightly floured surface; cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up each wedge tightly, beginning at wide end.
5. Place rolls on greased baking sheets, point side down; curve into crescent shapes. Brush with melted butter. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 30 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve hot.
