Crescent Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 pkg. active dry yeast
3/4 c. warm water (105~ to 115~)
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. shortening (part soft butter)
4 c. all-purpose flour

Preparation

Dissolve yeast in warm water.
Stir in sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth.
Mix in remaining flour until smooth.
Scrape dough from sides of bowl; cover and let rise until double, about 1 1/2 hours.
Divide dough in half; roll each half into 12-inch circle.
Spread with melted butter; cut into 16 wedges (I like to do this with a pizza cutter).
Roll up each wedge, beginning at rounded edge.
Place rolls with point under on a greased baking sheet.
Cover and let rise until double, about 1 hour.
Heat oven to 400\u00b0.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Brush rolls with melted butter.
