Crescent Rolls

1/4 c. warm water
1 pkg. yeast
Dissolve yeast in warm water.  Set aside.

1/2 c. plus 2 T. milk
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. Crisco
Warm in microwave for 30 seconds.  Set aside.

1 egg
1 t. salt
3 1/2 c. flour
Beat together egg and salt.  Add 1 c. flour, yeast mixture and milk mixture.  Mix well.  Then add about 2 c. flour until mixed well. Use the other 1/2 c. on the counter and mix in until all blended.  Let rise once.  Knead.  Divide dough into 2 equal parts.  Roll out into a circle.  Cut into 8 pie wedge shapes.  Roll up starting from wide end.  Place on cookie sheet.  Let rise another 2 hours (or until double in size).  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  As soon as the warmth is gone from the rolls, place them into a gallon size ziploc bag.  Each batch this size should make 16 rolls.

Bread Machine Directions:
Dissolve yeast and water together and put in the bottom.  Add all other ingredients except the flour.  Put flour ON TOP, all 3 1/2 c. and set your machine to the dough cycle (usually 90 minute cycle where it just mixes, kneads and raises once).  Take out of machine (I don't usually have to use any extra flour as dough is usually perfect) & knead.  Divide dough into 2 equal parts.  Roll out into a circle.  Cut into 8 pie wedge shapes.  Roll up starting from wide end.  Place on cookie sheet.  Let rise another 2 hours (or until double in size).  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  As soon as the warmth is gone from the rolls, place them into a gallon size Ziploc bag.  Makes 16 rolls.
