 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      packages      active dry yeast
    1      cup           warm water -- 110-115 degrees
    1      cup           warm milk -- 110-115 degrees
    2      Tablespoons   sugar
    2      Tablespoons   vegetable oil
    1                    egg
    1      teaspoon      salt
    5 1/2  cups          all-purpose flour -- 5-1/2 to 6 cups
                         raisins (2 for each roll)
                         white frosting
                         HONEY BUTTER:
    1      cup           butter or margarine -- softened
      1/4  cup           honey
      1/4  cup           confectioner's sugar
 
 In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in water.  Add milk, sugar,
 oil, egg, salt and 4 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add     
 enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a    
 floured board; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8    
 min. Place in a greased bowl, turning once. Cover and let   
 rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch     
 dough down. For each bear, shape a 2" ball for the body. Add
 a 1-1/4" ball for the head and six 1/2" balls for the ears, 
 arms and legs. Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets.     
 Cover and let rise until doubled, about 20 min. Bake at 400 
 degrees for 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire  
 racks. Add raisins for eyes, anchoring with a dab of        
 frosting. Add a frosting smile. In another bowl, beat honey 
 butter ingredients until fluffy. Chill; serve with rolls.
