This sounds like a really good recipe, but I'm confused about the honey-orange sauce... you don't have the "orange" ingredient listed in any amount. What about orange juice? Since I don't have orange juice, I'm sure that powdered sugar sprinkled over would be just as delicious. This sounds good, though, and I'm anxious to try it!
