Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, stir together water, oil and egg. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until you have a soft dough.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat the dough into a rectangle that measures roughly eight by 14 inches. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon (and nuts, if using). Starting from a long edge, roll up jelly roll style and pinch the edge to seal. Using a sharp, serrated knife or (even better) dental floss, slice half-inch thick and place slices cut side down on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

4. Bake for about 15 minutes, until springy to the touch. Wait until they have cooled completely before you spread them with cream cheese.
