Notes
- Griwech can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can store it in the same sealed container in the freezer for three months.
- The caramelisation of the sugar is optional. Its purpose is to provide the home-made honey its typical amber colour. I liked it as it makes the final pastry less sweet and it adds a nice caramel flavour.
