Fried Honeycakes
Some Victorian women would leave cakes similar to these in their gardens on May Day for the faeries.
½ cup sweet white wine
1 egg
2/3 cups flour
1/8 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. salt
2 T. sugar
1 cup honey
1/8 t. nutmeg
oil for frying
Beat the wine and egg together in a medium bowl. Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Let stand for 30 minutes. Combine the honey and the nutmeg in a small bowl. Heat ½ inch of oil in a skillet until hot but not smoking. Drop the batter into the oil 1 T. at a time; fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip into the honey.
