Ciastka Miodowe (Polish Honey Cakes)
In Poland, if there is a red sunset on Saint Nicholas' Day, it is because the angels are busily baking the Saint's Honey Cakes.

½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 egg yolks
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg

Warm the honey slightly and combine with the sugar.
