Honey roll with cream
Description
Even a young homemaker can manage this roll and delight her family. It is best to use flower honey, not buckwheat honey. Buckwheat honey can add bitterness and the roll will turn out dark. If you are unsure about the sour cream being natural, add sour-cream whipping stabilizer, then the cream will be thick. If you like, you can add fresh berries to the cream. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.

Roll tightly into a roll and spread the remaining cream over the entire top. Finely chop the trimmings into crumbs and sprinkle the roll however you like. Chill the roll in the refrigerator for 3–4 hours to let it absorb. Decorate as desired and serve.
