Mix the egg and the Muscat wine in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, mix together the flour, poppy seeds, cinnamon, sugar and salt. Stir this into the egg mixture. Let it stand for about ˝ hour. Combine the nutmeg and honey in a small bowl. Heat some oil in a frying pan (about ˝ inch in the bottom) until it’s hot.
