**single batch with tripled measurements to the side

¾ cup warm water (2 ¼ cups)

1/3 cup plus 1 Tablespoon sugar (1 cup +3 T)

1 Tablespoon Yeast (3 T)

1/3 cup shortening (2/3 cup shortening & 1/3 cup butter) (for double:use 1/3cup shortening ½ stick butter)

½ cup warm milk (1 ½ cups)

1 ½ teaspoon salt (4 ½ t)

2 eggs beaten (6 eggs)

4 cups flour (12 cups)

In mixer add Water and sugar. Disolve. Add salt.

In a separate bowl Melt your Butter/Shortening in the milk and stir. Add to the water mixture and mix.

Add a little flour and the beaten eggs to cool it down. Then add the yeast. Then the rest of the flour.

Mix until sticky but manageable. Cover and let rise for about 45 minutes.

Divide into half and then thirds…so six balls.

Roll one ball into circle (like a pizza) and then coat with butter. Use a pizza cutter to cut in half and then into 8 pieces. (or…these rolls can be formed into small balls to make round rolls)

Shape roll by rolling biggest side first into a cresent, and turning the edges down. Place on lightly greased pan and raise for 30ish minutes. Cook at 350 for 12-15 minutes.  One batch makes roughly 18 rolls.
