1/3 c. warm water
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. butter, room temperature
1/8 tsp. salt
2 c. all purpose flour
1 c. sugar

Combine water and yeast in a small bowl; let stand 2 minutes. In a large bowl, heat butter and salt until creamy. Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in yeast mixture. Cover and chill 1 hour.

Put sugar in pie plate or shallow pan. Drop level teaspoons of chilled dough into the sugar, rolling each into a ball and covering with sugar. Place sugar coated balls in shallow pan and chill for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

On a well sugared board, working with 1 ball at a time, press additional sugar into dough. Roll each piece of dough into a square and cut into 2 triangles. Bake on ungreased baking sheet, 10 to 15 minutes.
