Honey Traybake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350¿tF). Line a 20x20cm tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Use a whisk to ensure a smooth batter.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. 4

   Beat in the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.

   Tip: Be patient and let the mixture come together.

5. 5

   Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared tray and smooth the top.

7. 7

   Drizzle the honey over the top of the traybake in a zig-zag pattern.

   Tip: This will create a beautiful, rustic design.

8. 8

   Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the traybake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the traybake during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overcooking.

9. 9

   Remove the traybake from the oven and let it cool completely in the tray.

   Tip: This will help the traybake to set and make it easier to cut.

    Once the traybake has cooled, use a sharp knife to cut it into 6 equal squares.

    Tip: Cut the traybake in a diagonal direction to create a beautiful, rustic edge.

    Serve the honey traybake warm, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

    Tip: This will add a lovely textural element to the dish.
