Marcy Madson’s Crescent Rolls

2 pkgs yeast

½ c. warm water

1 tsp. sugar

1 ½ c. hot water

2/3 c margarine/butter

2/3 c. sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp salt

6 c. flour

Combine 2 pkgs yeast, ½ c. warm water, and 1 tsp. sugar. Let stand in water until yeast is softened. Melt shortening in 1 ½ c. hot water. Add 2/3 c. sugar, eggs, salt, and yeast mixture. Mix well. Add 3 c. flour and beat for 2 minutes. Add remaining 3 c. flour. Stir (the dough will be very sticky – that’s okay), cover, and refrigerate until double-size or next day. Divide into 4-5 balls. Roll out into a circle. Cut and form rolls. Let rise until double – about an hour. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. WATCH. (Helps to spray the table and put wax paper down when rolling dough).
