👨🍳 Инструкции

Make the cake layers: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and honey until smooth. Beat in the egg and milk until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be thick. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle (about 8-9 inches in diameter).

Place the dough circles on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Prick each circle with a fork. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
