Honey Is Magic

In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
Beat egg yolks together until light, about 2 minutes. Mix in grated carrots, almonds, matzo meal, flour and salt until well combined. Add citrus juices, lemon peel and wine. Stir thoroughly.
Beat egg whites with 2 tablespoons honey until stiff. Add remaining honey and beat at high speed until peaks form. Fold 1/3 of egg whites into carrot mixture. When combined, gently gold in remaining egg whites.
