--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   c            Starter
   1       pk           Yeast
     1/4   c            Warm water
     1/2   c            Milk
     1/4   c            Butter -- melted
     1/4   c            Honey
     1/2   ts           Salt
   3 1/4   c            Flour -- approx.

                        -----FILLING-----
     1/2   c            Butter
     1/2   c            Brown sugar
   1       tb           Orange peel -- grated
     1/4   c            Honey
     1/2   c            Flour
     1/2   c            Pecans
   1       t            Orange extract

  Soften yeast in water; stir in milk, batter, butter,
  honey, and salt. Gradually mix in 3 c of the flour;
  dough will be sticky.  Turn dough into a greased bowl,
  turn over to grease top; cover, and let rise in a warm
  place until double in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours.
  
  Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead
  until smooth, about 5 min.; add flour if necessary to
  prevent dough from sticking.  Roll dough out into a
  12x15 inch rectangle;  spread orange-nut filling
  evenly over dough.  Starting with the long side, roll
  up jelly-roll fashion.  Cut across roll into 15 slices
  about 1 inch each and arrange, cut-side-up in a well
  greased 9 by 13 inch baking pan.  Cover and let rise
  until almost double, about 45 minutes.
  
  Bake in a 350° oven for 35 minutes or until browned on
  top. Transfer rolls to a serving board; quickly scrape
  out any syrup in pan and spread it over rolls.  Serve
  them warm or reheated in a 350^ oven, lightly covered
  with foil, for about 20 minutes.  Makes 15 rolls.

  Note:  I would like to try this with cinnamon instead
  of the orange flavoring.
