  2. Hi Tony,

    thanks for your question. I use about 1 ½ tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of coarse Kosher salt.
    If you use fine salt you should reduce the amount to about 1/2 of a tablespoon.
    I think it needs that amount of salt, but this is for sure up to your taste to use less or more.

    I hope you will give the recipe a try, it is very easy to make and super yummy.

    Guten Appetit!

    Angela
