Honey Bars

Prepare the ingredients. Prepare all the ingredients and let the butter soften at room temperature 👩‍🍳✨

Melt the butter. If the butter is not soft enough, gently melt it over very low heat, but try to only soften it, not completely melt it 🧈

Crack the eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl 🥚

Add the sugar, honey, and beat. Add the sugar and beat with the eggs for at least 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves, then beat in the honey as well 🍯

Add the butter, baking soda, and the eggs with sugar and honey. Add the butter, baking soda, and the beaten mixture of eggs, sugar, and honey to the bowl with the flour and work into a dough. Once it starts to firm up, knead it by hand into a smooth consistency

Work the dough. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until smooth, then divide it into as many parts as you have baking sheets

Roll out onto a baking sheet. Roll each part of the dough into thin sheets (about 3 mm) directly on the baking sheet and bake in the oven at 180 C for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden

Make the cream. Prepare the cream by mixing softened butter with sweetened condensed milk, ideally whisk in a stand mixer, then chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until it firms up 🧈

Cut out the sponge layers. Cut the baked sheets into layers and save the trimmings for coating

Chop the edges from the layers and the nuts. Chop or blend the nuts and the trimmings from the layers

Assemble the layers and spread with cream. Layer them up - always one sponge layer and a layer of chilled cream, until you reach a height of about 10 cm, then spread the cream on the sides as well

Serve. Coat the finished slices in the mixture of nuts and trimmings and let rest in the refrigerator for at least overnight 🍰Serve
