1. Melt shortening in warm milk, add sugar and salt. Mix until dissolved.
2. Crumble or mix in yeast to lukewarm mixture.
3. Add beaten eggs, then flour. Mix to a soft dough and knead lightly. (I used the
dough hooks on my mixer).
4. Cover and let rise (about an hour) until double.

end like a croissant. Place on a lightly greased pan and cover with a light tea
towel and let rise until doubled.
