Honey Brittle

2 cups honey
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 to 1 cup pecan or cashew halves

Put honey and butter into a saucepan rinsed with cold water. Bring to a boil or until mixture holds together when dropped into cold water. Beat until it begins to lose its gloss; add nuts. Pour into well-buttered glass pan and cut or break into bits of brittle before mixture completely hardens.

Optional: Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons pollen granules before cutting.
