NANNY'S HONEY TEA SANDWICHES Recipe

Honey Bread: Butter and flour a 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2" loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350* F. Divide tea between 2 small bowls. Stir brown sugar into one until dissolved. Stir honey into the other until blended. Set both aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking soda. Mix well. Stir in sugar mixture until blended. Quickly stir in honey mixture. Pour into pan. Bake at 350* F for 40-45 minutes until skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan set on rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool on rack. Filling: In a medium bowl, mash banana with lemon juice.
To Assemble: Trim off ends of bread. Cut remaining loaf into slices 1/2" thick. Cut each slice into a floral shap with a 1 3/4" to 2" cookie cutter. With a sharp paring knife or very small round cookie cutter, cut a 1/2" round hole in the center of half the flowers, forming "doughnut" shapes. Spread solid bread flowers with filling. Top with "doughnut" slices. Fill hole with chocolate sprinkles. Serve at once.
