• For cooking, even slightly candied honey will fit, if the product is melted, then cool well.

• Do not much to brown thin cakes from honey dough. They do not absorb sour cream, and the dessert will be dry.
• For making crumb, it is not necessary to use baked cakes. Take any crumbly biscuits and smash it with a blender or crush with a rolling pin.
