Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make honey dough for cake? Prepare the necessary ingredients for this! I do not recommend replacing butter with margarine in honey dough. With butter, the cakes turn out to be tender and more crumbly, which means they will be well soaked in cream.

Step 2

Step 2
It is convenient to use a non-stick pan to prepare the dough. Place sugar, butter and honey in it. Put everything on the fire and melt it. Do not heat to a boil. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat. If it is overheated, then let the mixture cool slightly. This is necessary to prevent the eggs from curdling at high temperatures.

Step 3

Step 3
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. A little. Just so that they turn into a homogeneous mass. Then stir the honey mixture into the eggs.

Step 4

Step 4
Return everything to the fire. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly and remove from heat.

Step 5

Step 5
Immediately add baking soda and stir.

Step 6

Step 6
The soda will react with the honey and the mixture will begin to foam. Stir for a minute. Then leave the mixture to cool until warm.

Step 7

Step 7
Sift the flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen.

Step 8

Step 8
Gradually add flour and knead the dough. Focus on the consistency of the dough. It may take a little less flour. Donʼt add extra. Do not knead the dough for a long time. Simply stir in the flour with a wooden spatula. When she stops coping, knead the dough with her hands. It will quickly gather into a lump.

Step 9

Step 9
The finished dough is very soft and tender. Even if it still sticks to your hands a little, after lying down for a while and resting it will become completely ready for use.

Step 10

Step 10
Transfer the honey dough with honey into a bag and put it in the refrigerator for a day. Use the finished dough to make honey cakes. Cook with pleasure!
