Crescent Rolls

2 1/2 cups warm milk with 2 TBS dry yeast
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 Tbs. salt (I use a about 2 tsp. )
Stir together and add 2 beaten eggs. Add 6 1/2 cups flour. (I usually have to add more flour). Knead. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide into 4 batches.
Roll into circle and brush with butter. Cut into 12 . Roll each section up. Repeat for other 3 batches.
Let rise 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes 4 dozen.

This is the recipe I got from Madge Rich in the 16th Ward and have used for ages.
When I do this in my bread maker I use 1/2 a recipe and put the yeast in last in a little crater in the flour. I can get 2 dozen on one large cookie sheet.

Thanks for posting this recipe Mom! Shawn would love it if I made more rolls, so I'll have to get out my bread machine and give it a go :)
