"In Ancient temples, they offered 'Honey Cakes' to the goddess. I Imagine that they were something like this! I adapted the rice flour for modern tastes, although you can try barley flour if you wish.
Gluten-free! Sugar-free!"

I had to add an additional 1/2 to 3/4 cup rice flour to the recipe. I also baked for only 7-8 minutes in my convection oven.
