Be Sweet Honey Cakes

These are a little like thin, chewy pancakes, very good with the honey and nutmeg mix suggested, and is one of the few dishes made with wine that actually does not taste like it. It is an easy-but-slightly-messy recipe that is a nice spring equivalent to pancakes.

INGREDIENTS:

* 1/2 cup Riesling wine
* 1 large egg
* 2/3 cup flour
* 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* dash of salt
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* 1 cup honey
* 1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:

Beat the wine and egg in a bowl. In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, salt, and sugar. Add flour to the mixture in other bowl. Mix until well-blended. Let stand for 30 minutes. Combine the honey and nutmeg in a small bowl for dipping.

Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet until hot, but not smoking. Drop batter into oil 1 tablespoon at a time; fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Dip in honey/nutmeg mix.

YIELD: 6 cakes
