In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, 1/4 C butter, shortening, eggs, salt and 2 C flour; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 - 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch the dough down; divide in half. Roll each portion into a 12 inch circle. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Cut each circle into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges from the wide end and curve to form crescents. Place with point down 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
