Mama Nelson's Crescent Rolls

My Mom has made this recipe for as long as I can remember and in turn I learned how to make it. It is so dang good but be careful if you make it for a family gathering or some kind of party or something you will never be asked to bring anything else again.

2 pkgs. or 4 1/2 tsp fast rising yeast
1/2 C warm water
1 Tbs Sugar (I often add extra sugar)
2 C scalded milk
1/2 C maragarine
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
7 C flour

Soften yeast in 1/2 C warm water and sprinkle with sugar; Set aside. Mix milk, sugar, margarine, (drop margarine in hot milk to melt), and salt. Cool to lukewarm. Add eggs and 3 C flour. Beat well. Stir in yeast mixture and gradually add approximately3 1/2 - 4 C flour to form soft dough. Let rise in bowl until double (1 1/2 hours). Knead in lightly floured surface until no longer feels sticky. Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each into a flat surface. Brush with melted butter and cut into 12 pizza slices with a pizza cutter. Roll into crescent. Place on grease baking sheet, let rise 30 -45 minutes. Bake at 400* for 12 to 15 minutes. (Optional: brush with melted butter after taken out of the oven.) Makes 4 dozen.

Enjoy!
