As a part of the Sherman Brothers’ Classic Family Film Season we, the Storyhouse Young Programmers, have handpicked some of our favourite ‘hunny’-based recipes to celebrate screening The Many Adventure of Winnie the Pooh!
From sweet treats to savoury favourites, we hope you find a recipe or two to enjoy with your family.
A taste of home…
Here are a couple of recipes we grew up with.
Lemon, Honey and Ginger Tea
Ingredients:
- Cube of lemon
- Cube of ginger
- Scoop of honey
- Hot water
Directions:
- Cut ginger into fine pieces – to be moulded into an ice cube tray.
- Then juice some lemons and add the juice to an ice cube mould also.
- After the ice cubes are frozen take one of each (or more to your taste preference).
- Boil some water and add to an empty mug, then add your honey to the hot water to help it dissolve.
- Grab your ice cubes and add them to the hot water and honey mixture and enjoy!

Jewish Honey Cake
Ingredients:
- 375 ml hot tap water
Dry Mixture: - 225 grams plain flour
- 225 grams self-raising flour
- 1.5 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Mixture: - 4 eggs
- 345 grams caster sugar
- 180 ml vegetable oil
- 500 grams honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- You will need a 27 cm ring cake tin. Use tin without a removable base so that the mixture doesn’t leak.
- Preheat the oven to 180C or gas mark 4 and grease the tin very well.
- Sift the dry mixture ingredients into a bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the wet ingredients together well.
- Add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, switching with the 1 ½ cups of hot tap water.
- Pour into the cake tin. Bake for 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted in the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool before turning out of the tin.
