3/4 cup warm water (105 degrees F)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup shortening
4 cups unbleached flour

Add the remaining flour blending until smooth. Scrape the dough from the sides of the bowl and cover with a cloth dampened in warm water. (The cloth should feel wet but not be so wet that water drips onto the dough.) Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.Divide the dough in half and roll each half in a 12 inch circle, 1/4 inch thick. Spread with the soft butter and cut circle into 16 wedges. Roll up each wedge beginning at the largest end. Place point side down, on a greased baking sheet. Curve to form crescents. Cover and let rise until double about 1 hour.Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are a rich golden brown. Brush with soft butter.
