Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and the dry yeast.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk, sugar, shortening, and salt until the mixture reaches 115&# 194;°F.
  3. Add the warm milk mixture to the dry ingredients in the bowl, then add the eggs and mix for 30 seconds on low speed.
  4. Increase the mixer speed to high and mix for 3 minutes.
  5. By hand, stir in enough remaining flour to form a moderately stiff dough.
  6. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, then shape it into a ball and let it rise in a covered bowl until doubled in size.
  7. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll each part into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.
  8. Cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped parts and roll each wedge from the wide edge into a tight crescent shape.
  9. Place the rolls point-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  10. Cover the baking sheet and let the rolls rise until doubled in size.
  11. Bake at 375ðF (191ðC) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
