DIRECTIONS
Heat orange juice to lukewarm; add salt, shortening, ¼ 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 1½ hours). Combine butter, ½ 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 ½ dozen buns.
