I got this recipe from my friend Jack, but as the name indicates it probably came from Betty Crocker. I like to mix this using the dough hook on my Kitchen Aid. I have made rolls, loaves, pizzas and cinnamon rolls with this dough. Read more It's very versatile. Have also substituted whole wheat pastry flour for some of the flour to give it a heartier texture. My grandma always made the lightest, fluffiest clover-leaf rolls using water that she had cooked the potatoes in; the starch feeds the yeast. This is the closest thing I've found to hers. See less

- Mix in sugar, salt, shortening, eggs, orange juice, potatoes and 4 cups of the flour.

- Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover bowl tightly; refrigerate at least 8 hours. Can be stored in refrigerator at 45 degrees or below up to 5 days. Keep covered.
- Punch down dough; divide dough into 4 parts.
- Crescents: Roll 1/4 of dough into 12-inch circle. Spread with margarine or butter, softened. Cut into 16 wedges. Roll up, beginning at rounded edge. Place rolls, with points underneath, on greased cookie sheet; curve slightly. Brush with margarine or butter, softened. Let rise until double, 45 to 60 minutes. Heat oven to 400F. Bake until light brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Makes 16 rolls.
