• While that's cooling, soften the yeast in the warm water with the teaspoon of sugar and stir.
• Stir the milk and butter and the 1/3 cup of sugar and salt. Add the egg and yeast mixture and mix well.
• Add 2 cups of flour until well mixed and add the rest of the flour 1/4 cup at a time until the the dough is formed and leaves the side of the bowl.
• Remove the dough and knead for about 3 minutes. Spray a medium sized bowl with pan spray and lay the dough inside rolling it the greased bowl. Cover with saran wrap and allow the dough to rise until almost doubled in size, about an hour.
• Remove the dough from the bowl and cut in half. Allow the dough to rest for about 10 minutes. Heat the oven to 365*.
• Roll out into a 12-inch circle. Using a pizza cutter, slice into 12 even wedges.

KITTENCAL'S SOFT TENDER CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the milk, Crisco, sugar and salt on top of stove until fairly warm (just until the butter melts, but does not have to melt completely) remove from heat and cool until warm but not hot (if you are in a hurry, place in the fridge for about 20 minutes).
• Warm egg slightly in warm water to bring to room temperature only.
• When milk is still warm but not hot, place 3-1/2 cups flour in the Kitchen Aid stainless steel mixing bowl bowl with room temp egg and cooled milk/butter mixture, mix, cover with a towel to keep all ingredients warm while proofing yeast.
• Proof yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar for 10 minutes until foamy, then add to bowl.

• Gather up dough and knead gently for a couple of times, then form into a ball.
• Place dough into a well greased bowl.

• This is a great tip, roll out the dough and just sit a small pizza pan lightly on top of your rolled dough, then run a pizza cutter all around the edges of the pizza pan, you will have an even round circle.
• Cut into even size triangles (I use a pizza cutter for this!).
