Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup honey (Buckwheat honey is best)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
4 eggs, separated
3 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Bring the honey to a boil and cool.

  • Sift flour with dry ingredients, add in alternately with sour cream, and stir in nuts.

  • Bake in a tube pan (or a cookie sheet) at 325F (163C) until done, about 50-55 minutes.
