Crescent Rolls

From Caytee Wankier

Perfect recipe for great tasting, quick rolls.

1 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

1 Tbsp dry yeast

1 Tbsp sugar

1/4 cup lukewarm water

3 eggs

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 tsp salt

4 1/2 to 5 cups flour

Warm milk with butter in a saucepan until warm enough to melt butter. Remove from heat and set aside - it should not be too hot. In a separate bowl, mix yeast, 1 Tbsp sugar and water. Beat with a fork to make foamy. Set aside. In a mixer, beat 3 eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup sugar, then milk and yeast mixtures. Then add salt and flour. The dough will be sticky. Cover the mixing bowl and let the dough rise for 15-20 minutes. Separate into 2 balls of dough. Roll out each ball on a floured surface into a round circle. Brush with melted butter. Cut each circle as you would cut a pizza (quarters, then each quarter halved). Roll biggest end toward the smallest end and place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise until double. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes - until browned. Makes 16 large rolls.
