Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 Egg, separated 1 ds Salt
2 tb Milk 10 tb Liquid honey
50 g Flour (1/2 cup less 1 Tbsp) Fat for frying

From grandmother's more thrifty times; rarely encountered today.

From the Oberallgaeu region.

Make a batter of the flour, egg yolk, milk, salt, and sugar. Beat the egg
whites, and add to the mixture. Take five wooden spoons and stick the
handles about 1/3 to 3/4 inch deep into the dough, twisting the handles as
you do so. Immediately transfer them to fat that has been heated to 390
degrees F. As soon as the dough has browned, once again dip into the
dough, then back into the hot fat. Repeat the process 5 to 6 times. When
the very outside layer has turned crisp and brown, remove the pastry from
the spoon handle, fill with honey, and serve hot, dusted with crushed
sugar.

Makes 8 wasp nests, for dessert.
