RECIPE NOTES

*If you would prefer to use áctive dry yeást, substitute án equál ámount for the instánt yeást. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, or until foámy. Then, continue with the recipe ás written.

**The honey is slightly detectáble in the finished knots. If you would prefer not to háve ány honey flávor, substitute 1/4 cup gránuláted sugár for the honey.

***Be sure thát your flour isn't pácked when you meásure it. I fluff mine first to máke sure thát I'm not getting too much flour. Too much flour cán máke the knots heávy or dry.

****I've tried forming á knot ánd then dipping in butter ánd sugár. The knots didn't work neárly ás well thát wáy.
