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°. Spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a bowl stir together flour and confectioners’ sugar. Add the butter pieces and blend until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake about 15 minutes until golden. Remove from oven. Reduce temperature to 325°.
Whisk together all filling ingredients until well combined. Pour over prepared crust and bake 25 minutes or until filling is golden brown. Let cool on a rack and then chill in refrigerator. When ready to serve, sprinkle cookies with sifted confectioners’ sugar and cut into squares.
