SWEET POTATO CRESCENT ROLLS
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/2 c. warm water (105°-115°)
1/3 c. sugar
1 1/4 t. salt
2/3 c. Crisco
2 eggs
1 c. lukewarm mashed sweet potato
1 1/2 c. raisins
7-7 1/2 c. all purpose or unbleached flour
butter or margarine, softened
Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients
using only 3 c. flour. Beat thoroughly. Stir in enough of remaining flour
to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and
knead til smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Place in greased bowl
and turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place til doubled
(about 1 hour). At this point, dough may be covered tightly and refrigerated
up to 8 hours for convenience. Punch down and divide in 4 parts. Roll
each into 12 inch circles and spread with butter. Cut each circle into
16 wedges. Roll up each wedge starting from rounded end. Place rolls with
"points" underneath on greased sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart. Curve
lightly to form crescent and brush with butter. Cover and let rise until
light (1 hour). Preheat oven to 400° and bake til golden brown(15-20 minutes)
Freezes well.
