Fabulous crescent rolls

Ingredients
1 Tablespoon yeast
1/4 Cup water
1 Cup milk
1/4 Cup sugar
1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt ( use less salt if using all butter) Butter is for richness, shortening is for fluff. That is why we divide it.
3/4 Cup butter or shortening ( we use half and half)
2 eggs
4 Cups flour

Directions
Dissolve yeast in water. Melt shortening in milk with sugar and salt by heating in mivrowave. don't get your milk too hot. Make sure it is cooled before adding to yeast. Add eggs and flour. It may take a little more flour but it is a very soft dough. You can stick your finger in it and it is ready when it doesn't stick to your finger. Because there is so much shortening in the dough it is less sticky. Cover in bowl and let rise until double. Divide into four parts. Roll each part into a circle about 12-14 inches in diameter. Spread with butter and cut into 8 wedges. Roll each up and place on baking sheet. Let rise again about 1 and 1/2 hours. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 10 minutes.
