Preparation

Step 1

Melt Crisco and Milk in microwave

Beat well sugar, eggs and salt.

In separate bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. (Add 1 tsp. sugar to this so it rises better)

Add yeast mixture to sugar mixture along with 2 c. flour. (I use bread flour). Add Crisco mixture when just warm along with 2 more cups of flour. Add more flour until dough is sticky. Put in refrigerator overnight or let rise until double.

Divide dough into thirds and roll out like a jelly roll. Spread dough with melted butter. If making crescants roll into crescent shape. If making cinnamon rolls, spread dough with a cinnamon/sugar mixture. I also add nuts and roll up like a jelly roll. Cut into 2 inch slices and put in pan cut side up.

Let raise about 1 hour in a warm place and then bake at 350 degrees until brown, about 15 minutes.
