1 pkg. yeast
1/3 c. hot water
1/4 c. warm water
2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
1 egg beaten & 1 egg, unbeaten
2/3 c. evaporated milk
3 c. flour

Mix butter, hot water, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt together until butter melts. Mix in unbeaten egg and milk and flour. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water and mix in with the rest. Knead until smooth, place in greased bowl, turn over once, let rise until double in bulk, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough. Divide into 2 balls, roll out batter, surface like pie dough; cut into 8" or 10" pie wedge shaped pieces, then roll up from pointed end in crescents, place on a well greased cookie sheet, repeat with all remaining dough, cover and let rise for about 45 minutes. Brush crescents with the one beaten egg which is combined with 1 tablespoon cold water, sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees or until they are golden brown. Serve warm.
