The reason use of money and the things it buys is one of the best indicators of spiritual maturity and Godliness is that we exchange such a great part of our lives for it. Because we invest most of our days working in exchange for money, there is a very real sense in which our money represents us. Therefore, how we use it expresses who we are, what our priorities are, and what’s in our hearts. As we use our money and resources Christianly, we prove our growth in Christlikeness.

INSTRUCTIONS

From grandmother's more thrifty times; rarely encountered today.
From the Oberallgaeu region.
Make a batter of the flour, egg yolk, milk, salt, and sugar. Beat the egg
whites, and add to the mixture. Take five wooden spoons and stick the
handles about 1/3 to 3/4 inch deep into the dough, twisting the handles as
you do so.  Immediately transfer them to fat that has been heated to 390
degrees F.  As soon as the dough has browned, once again dip into the
dough, then back into the hot fat. Repeat the process 5 to 6 times. When
the very outside layer has turned crisp and brown, remove the pastry from
the spoon handle, fill with honey, and serve hot, dusted with crushed
sugar.
Makes 8 wasp nests, for dessert.
