Honey Cakes
From caramia 15 years agoIngredients
- 1 lb (4 cups) sifted flour shopping list
- 1/4 lb (1/2 cup) butter shopping list
- 2 Tbs. caster sugar shopping list
- 2 Tbs. honey shopping list
- 2 egg yolks shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 pt. (1 cup) milk shopping list
- pinch salt shopping list
- 1 egg white shopping list
How to make it
- Rub the butter into the flour, and gently heat the sugar and honey until it is well mixed, then stir in the baking powder. Add this to the flour mixture, alternately with the egg yolks beaten with the milk. Mix very well, and finally add the salt and mix again. Roll out on a floured board very lightly and cut into rounds or shapes. Put on a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees F) for about 20 minutes. Remove to a rack, paint the tops with lightly beaten egg white, and spread over the thick honey mixed with the ground almonds. Put in a very cool oven for no longer than 5 minutes to set. Eat either hot or cold. An alternative method is to serve these light little cakes hot from the oven with warm, melted heather honey poured over. Makes approx. 24 cakes.
- For the topping:
- 1/2 lb (1 cup) thick heather honey
- 3 Tbs. ground almonds
