Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp (40g) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) warm water

Instructions:

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  3. Stir in the honey and heavy cream until a stiff, cohesive dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of 3/4 inch (2cm).
  5. Cut the dough into 3-inch (7.5cm) squares.
  6. Use a knife to lightly score a large 'X' across the top of each square, without cutting all the way through.
  7. Place squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until edges are pale gold.
  8. Whisk the glazing honey and warm water together in a small bowl.
  9. While the bread is still hot, lightly brush the honey glaze over the top of each square.
