Crescent Rolls

Mix 1 T. yeast and 1 T. sugar into 1 C. warm water. Let sit to rise. In a bowl Mix: 1 cube melted butter 2 eggs (beaten with a fork) ½ c. sugar ½ tsp. salt Combine the two mixtures above and add 4 ¾ c. flour. Stir until well mixed with a spoon. (Knead dough if necessary to make it form into a nice ball.) Dough should be a little sticky. Cover bowl with a damp, warm dish towel. Let rise until double, about 2 hours. Divide dough in half, rolling each half into a circle. Brush with melted butter and cut into 12 pie shaped wedges. Roll up beginning at the wide end. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, brush with butter again, and let rise until double, about 2 hours. Bake at 375 degrees for 13-15 min. Brush with butter. Makes 24 rolls. Note: if you’re in hurry, place the rolls in a warm oven to raise them quickly. By Amy Thompson
