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