Instructions: "In the Bible (Ezekiel 27), we learn how the merchants of yore traded in all manner of ingredients which were used in their cooking. Honey was the sweetening agent of their confections, so we have good reason to believe that their sweetmeats were sticky, spicy, nutty, and of a plain baked dough baked and then boiled in honey. Mediterranean cakes have indeed retained those characteristics through the present." Israeli Cookbook 2 cups sifted flour
1 tbsp sugar
4 eggs
3 tbsp cooking oil
1 lb honey
1/4 lb poppy seed

Mix the flour, sugar, eggs, and oil. Knead together and roll out very thin.

Cut into squares and prick with a fork. Bake in a 375 degree oven until the dough is crisp (7-10 minutes). Boil the honey, and dip the squares in it for a few minutes. Remove and roll in the poppy seed.
