Submitted by  Kandice McDermott

These croissants are SO easy to make, and they are delicious! The recipe makes a big batch though, so plan on feeding a crowd!

Dissolve:

2 TB yeast                              1 c warm water

In medium bowl, combine:

¾ cup evaporated milk     1 egg

1½ tsp salt                             1 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar                        ¼ cup melted butter

Add to yeast mixture and blend well; set aside.

In large bowl, cut in (just until kidney bean size pieces):

1 cup cold butter                   4 cups flour

Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture. Stir until moistened. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a circle. Cut into 8 triangles. Roll up triangles, wide end first. Let rise for 3 hours. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
