1 stick butter
2 c. water
1/2 c. shortening
2 c. sweet potatoes
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. cinnamon, optional grated orange peel may be used instead

Melt butter in 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. In pot, heat water and sugar until sugar melts. Make dough from flour, shortening and milk.

Knead dough on board and roll out in rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle with cinnamon (or orange peel), if using. Put potatoes on dough and roll up like jelly roll. Pinch ends together to seal. Slice into 16 or more pieces and place in pan with melted butter. Pour sugar syrup over all. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes.
