Directions
Gently heat the honey in a copper bowl or a bain-marie.
Heat the milk with the sugar separately then add to the honey and stir well over a low heat.
Leave to cool.
Put the flour into another bowl and stir in the honey mixture and then the other ingredients.
Work all these together to a smooth consistency .
Place a greased flan ring (22 - 24 cm diameter, 3½ cm high) on a baking tray and fill with the mixture.
Brush the top with milk and score a decorative pattern on the surface using a fork.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 cup (test with a needle).
When cold, decorate with icing.
