Crescent Rolls

This makes four dozen so you can half it if you need less. You can also make these into orange rolls by putting orange zest with the butter when you roll them out. They are great with an orange frosting made of orange juice, powdered sugar and butter.

2 T. yeast
3/4 c. warm water
Add yeast to warm water and sprinkle a little bit of sugar over it and set it aside to work.

2 c. scalded milk
1 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
6 beaten eggs
9 cups of flour

Scald milk; add butter and cool to lukewarm. Combine sugar, salt and beaten eggs. Add to the milk mixture. Then add yeast and 5 cups of flour. Beat until well mixed. Let rest 10 minutes. Add 4 more cups flour. Dough will be slightly sticky. Let raise three hours. Divide dough into six balls. Roll out each and sprinkle with melted butter then cut like a pizza into eight rolls. Roll up into crescent rolls and let rise one hour. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly brown.
