Just had to add- as honey is an animal product, check first whether the person you are making it for eats honey as many don't.

Hi,
Professional Vegan Pastry Chef here weighing in on this sugar issue.
Evaporated Cane Juice like Organic Florida Crystals would be the best choice for Vegan-Calcium Carbonate free sugar in this recipe.
Please do not use honey which turns toxic at high temperatures.

I would just like to remind those believing this to be vegan, that it is infact not. Well, everything on the recipe IS vegan, aside for the granulated sugar.
Any sugar that isn't directly from the Sugar Cane itself and untreated (such as Succanat, or other natural sugars such as Agave Necter) are 100% NON-VEGAN.
Granulated sugar is made with ground animal bones. The animal bones are almost completely incinerated to leave active carbon, which is used to remove colour from the raw cane sugar; thus making it WHITE. Giving it the "bleached" look.
Suprisingly enough, not many people know this.. infact, the majority of VEGANS I meet know nothing of this. But I hope it helps!
I would suggest substituting the granulated sugar for things like natural honey, agave necter or succanat. These are all extremely healthy substitues that still taste great.
Infact, out of all the alternatives I listed, 100% natural/organic and unprocessed Honey is incredibly healhty for you, it has countless health benefits, so much that I doubt it would fit here! lol!
Do yourselves a favor and do a little research, find out which form of sweetening is best for you!
To all vegans reading this - Enjoy your long and healthy lives!
