A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
4 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons caster sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1 pinch salt
1 egg white
Topping
1 cup thick heather honey
3 tablespoons ground almonds
OR
1 cup melted heather honey
directions
Rub the butter into the flour, and gently heat the sugar and honey until it is well mixed, then stir in the baking powder.
Add this to the flour mixture, alternately with the egg yolks beaten with the milk. Mix very well, and finally add the salt and mix again.
Roll out on a floured board very lightly and cut into rounds or shapes.
Put on a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 20 minutes.
Remove to a rack, paint the tops with lightly beaten egg white, and spread over the thick honey mixed with the ground almonds. Put in a very cool oven for no longer than 5 minutes to set.
cook's notes
Eat either hot or cold. An alternative method is to serve these light little cakes hot from the oven with warm, melted heather honey poured over.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

These honey cakes were made hoping to quench my want of honey. They did just that, but not much more. Instead of cakes, they were more like scones or cookies, but they were still tasty and moist in the middle. I would recommend making these, but just keep in mind, they don't turn out like cakes. More like scones! :)
