1. Combine shortening, milk, sugar and salt in saucepan. Heat just until shortening is melted; cool to lukewarm.
2. Sprinkle yeast into very warm water in a large bowl. (Very warm water should feel comfortably warm when dropped on wrist.) Add lukewarm milk mixture, eggs and 2 cups of the flour; beat until smooth. Add just enough of remaining flour to make soft dough.
3. Turn out onto lightly floured pastry board or cloth; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, using only enough flour to keep dough from sticking.
4. Place dough in large greased bowl; turn to coat all over with shortening. Cover. Let rise in warm place 1 hour, or until double in bulk.
5. Punch dough down; knead a few times; let rest 5 minutes. Shape into Crumb Cake or Buns
