{homemade crescent rolls}
3 cups scalded milk
1 cup potato flakes or buds
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter or shortening
1 TBSP salt
4 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 TBSP yeast
7 - 7 1/2 cups flour
Place potato flakes, sugar, salt & butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a bread hook. Add scalded milk & mix on low until the mixture it lukewarm. When the mixture is lukewarm, add eggs, yeast & flour to form a soft dough. Dough will be sticky!!! Don't add more flour. Mix an additional 5-7 minutes until dough is smooth & elastic. Let dough rise in the bowl until doubled in size. About 1 1/2 hours. Divide dough in 4 equal parts. Form each part into rounds. With a rolling pin, roll each round into a large circle. Using a pizza cutter, cut into 12 wedge like triangles. Roll up each triangle into a crescent roll. Place onto a greased baking sheet & cover with plastic wrap sprayed with cooking sheet. Repeat with all 4 dough rounds. Let rise additional 3 hours or until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on top.
