1 c Honey (Buckwheat honey is
-best)
1/2 c Of butter
1 c Brown sugar
4 Eggs separated
3 c Sifted flour
2 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
1 c Sour cream
1 c Chopped walnuts (optional)
Bring the honey to a boil and cool. Cream the butter and sugar, add the egg
yolks, one at a time. Beat until fluffy, then beat in the honey.
Sift flour with dry ingredients, add in alternately with sour cream, and
stir in nuts.
Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Bake in a tube pan (or a
cookie sheet) at 325?F (163?C) until done, about 50-55 minutes. Lower heat
to 300?F (150?C) in final stages of baking to prevent honey from burning.
