  • 1/4 c Softened shortening
  • 3/4 c Honey, divided
  • 1/2 c Mashed sweet potatoes

 Directions

From The Bread Cookbook by Lena Sturges. Heat orange juice to lukewarm;
add salt, shortening, 1/4 cup honey, and sweet potatoes. Mix well and add
yeast. When yeast is dissolved, add eggs and beat well. Add flour; mix
until soft dough forms. Knead dough gently in bowl.
Form dough into ball and put in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in
warm place until dough is light and doubled in bulk (about 1 1/2 hours).
Combine butter, 1/2 cup honey, and pecans. Spread over bottoms of 2
greased 12- by 8-inch baking pans.
Turn dough out onto floured surface; divide in half and fit into pans
over honey-nut mixture. Using two well-greased, sharp knives, cut each pan
of dough into 15 buns. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk (30
minutes). Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before
turning out onto racks or serving plate. Yield: 2 1/2 dozen buns.
