1/2 c. shortening
1 pkg. yeast
4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. sugar

Heat milk enough to dissolve shortening, cool slightly; add flour, salt and sugar. Add eggs and yeast (dissolved in warm water). Mix thoroughly. Refrigerate overnight.

Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Roll out thin, dot with butter, sugar, cinnamon, raisins and nuts; shape like crescents. Let rise 2 hours. Bake 40 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees.
