    Step 1.

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

    Step 2.

    It is convenient to use a non-stick pan to prepare the dough. Put sugar, butter and honey in it. Put everything on the fire and melt it. Do not heat until boiling. As the butter has melted, remove from the heat. If overheated, then let the mass cool down a little. This is necessary to ensure that the eggs do not curdle at high temperature.

How to find out if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
