Ingredients
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup margarine, softened (Kosher for Passover)

Honey Tips
Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Beat egg yolks until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add margarine and continue beating until well blended. Add matzo meal, ¼ cup honey, orange zest, cinnamon and ginger. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until peaks form. Drizzle in remaining ¼ cup honey and beat until blended. Combine with egg yolk mixture and beat on high for several minutes until light and airy. Add almonds and mix well.
Divide batter between 2 greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pans, spreading evenly. Bake at 350° for approximately 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove baking pans from oven and reduce oven temperature to 250°. Remove loaves from baking pans, place on cutting board and cut into ½ inch slices. Place slices cut side up on greased baking sheet and return to oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightly brown. Let cool. Store in airtight container.
Yields: 25-30 pieces
