never heard of this sauce, but it looks interesting. i got till the second week of june to reach my weight level i want so the flour and butter have to wait. but i will try this. iteresting combination of spices and the element of sweetness of honey should make it flavorfull. i looked it up and i have probably had it when my mother made it. i think it would also be good with home made dumplings [real potato dumplings] or spaetzle's made at home also. now you realy got me going. i'll have to call my mother to see if she makes it the same way. the name just threw me off. thanks for posting this reciepe. i think brown rice flour could be used for this for the thickening part and i could use the i cant believe it's butter spray for the butter. just take the cap off and pour some out. good luck.
