Absolutely wonderful!
Though we used molasses instead of honey for it, the result was very very nice.

I brought this to a party and everyone loved it! Make sure you steal an edge piece before your guests get to them, they are crispy golden and perfect! My only change would be trying to get more of a honey flavor, I felt it was too subtle (but it could be that I used boring honey!).

The instructions include vegetable oil, but there is no oil in the ingredients list. How much oil is needed?
