Magickal Faery Fritters

These small cakes are not unlike those made on the night before Beltaine by women around the turn of the century. These cakes were left in the garden to please faery visitors.

1/2 C Sweet White Wine
1 Egg
2/3 Flour
1/8 Tsp Cinnamon
1/8 Tsp Salt
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 C Honey
1/8 Tsp Nutmeg
Oil for Frying

Beat the wine and egg in a medium bowl. Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt and sugar in a small bowl. Stir into the egg mixture. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Combine the honey and nutmeg into 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.

Yield: 1 1/2 dozen.
