Ingredients




2 Active Dry Yeast
3/4 cup Warm Water, luke warm
1/2 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
2 lrg Eggs
1/2 cup Shortening (Part Butter)
4 cups Unbleached flour
Butter or Regular Margarine, Softened

Preparation

1 This is a copycat recipe for Pillsbury Crescent Rolls that I got while searching the net. It is Gloria Pitzer's Secret Recipe. 2 Dissolve yeast in warm water, in large bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and half of the flour into the yeast mixture. 3 Add the remaining flour blending until smooth. I did all this in the mixer. 4 Scrape sides of bowl and cover with a damp cloth. (one that has been dipped in warm water, not a wet one.) Let rise in warm place. Until double. About 1 1/2 hours. Divide the dough in half, rolling each half into a 12-inch circle 1/4 inch thick. Spread with the soft butter and cut each circle into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge beginning at the large end. Place, point side down, on a greased baking sheet. Curve to form crescents. Cover and let rise until double, 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a golden brown. Brush with soft butter. 5 Makes 32crescent rolls. 6 I made these and they are so good. I will certainly make them again.
