Fried Honeycakes

These cakes are not unlike those made on the night before Beltane by women around the turn of the century. These cakes were left in the garden to please Faery visitors. (I have not made these little honey cakes, so cannot vouch for the success of the recipe!)

1/2 cup sweet white wine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 cup honey
2/3 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Oil for frying
1/8 teaspoon salt

Beat the wine & egg in a medium bowl. Combine the flour cinnamon, salt &
sugar in a small bowl. Stir into the egg mixture. Let stand 30 minutes.
Combine the honey & nutmeg in a small bowl. Heat 1/2-inch of the oil in a
frying pan until hot, but not smoking. Drop the batter into the oil 1
tablespoon at a time; fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip into
the honey.
