2 cups milk

2 t salt

½ cup sugar, plus 2 t sugar

½ cup shortening

2 eggs beaten

Using a rolling pin, roll each ball out onto lightly floured surface. It works well to spread flour on

the counter with a sifter and keep palms of hands covered in soft butter. Spread the top with melted butter. Cut each circle with a pizza cutter into 12 triangles, like a pie. Roll up like a crescent roll, beginning at widest end of triangle. Place close together on a 10 x 13 cookie sheet
