TENDER BUTTERY CRESCENT ROLLS

Steps:

• Heat the milk, butter, shortening, 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). 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. Start mixing/kneading (adding more flour until a smooth semi-sticky dough is formed). Knead for about 8-10 minutes. Remove the dough and let stand covered with a clean dish towel for 10 minutes. Gather up dough and knead gently a couple times, then form into a ball. Place dough into a well greased bowl. Cover and rise for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Punch down dough and divide into two or three balls (three sections will give you smaller crescents), then roll into an even circle with a rolling pin and spread/brush liberally with melted butter. Cut into even size triangles. Roll up the dough starting at the larger end. Place on a baking sheet that has been lightly brushed with melted butter. Cover and rise for about 30-45 minutes or until almost doubled. Bake for about 20 minutes at 375° or until golden.
