Quick breads or yeast breads need to always have the ingredients measured precisely. Use a knife to level the flour, salt or baking powder since baking is relying on the chemistry. When you have an ingredient 'heaping' you have changed the chemistry!

Crescent Rolls
Crescent Rolls are a must at our special family dinners. Plan to mix up the dough about two hours before dinner time.
¾ cup milk
½ cup shortening or butter
½ cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 pkg (2 tbls) dry yeast
½ cup warm water (thermometer at 110 to 115 degrees)
2 eggs beaten
4 ½ to 5 cups flour
Heat the milk to scald; which is just before it boils with small bubbles around the edge. Stir in the butter, sugar and salt and set aside to cool to lukewarm.
Sprinkle yeast on warm water to dissolve, but check temperature with a thermometer first. Combine the milk mixture, eggs and 1 ½ cups of flour to the yeast and beat until smooth.
Mix in more flour gradually to get a stiff dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured area. Knead the dough till smooth and elastic about 5 to 8 minutes.
Put in greased bowl and turn the dough over to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm area of 80 to 85 degrees about an hour.
Punch down the dough and cut in half to shape into rolls.
Roll out a 12’’ circle and brush with soft or melted butter. Cut the circle into 4 quarters then into 16 pie shaped pieces. Starting at the wide end roll up each piece and put point down on greased baking sheet 2’’ apart.
Let rise for 30 to 45 minutes. Bake at 375 for 12 to 15 minutes.
Or shape rolls into cloverleafs by dropping 3 1’’ balls of dough into greased muffin pan cups instead.
