Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, egg, sugar, shortening and salt; mix well. Add flour; mix until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  2. Turn dough on a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread with 1 tablespoon softened butter. Fold corners to the middle and then fold in half. Wrap dough in waxed paper; chill for 30 minutes. Repeat rolling, buttering, folding and chilling steps twice.
  3. Turn dough onto a floured surface, divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each into an 11-in. circle, 1/8 in. thick. Cut each circle into eight wedges; roll up from wide edge to tip of dough and pinch to seal. Place rolls, tip down, on greased baking sheets and curve to form crescent. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. For icing, combine sugar, milk, butter and extracts; spread over warm rolls. Sprinkle with nuts. Yield: 16 rolls.
