The dough is made on a double boiler. Pour water into a pot, bring it to a boil and place a non-melting medium bowl on top.
For the next step, place butter in the bowl and let it melt completely. Add sugar and honey and mix well until you have a smooth consistency.
1 cup sugar, 2 Tbsp butter, 2 Tbsp honey
Lightly beat the eggs with baking powder in a separate bowl and slowly add the mixture into the batter. Continue to mix the batter while adding the mixture.
2 eggs, 1½ tsp baking powder
Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the batter becomes fluffy and changes the color to light yellow.
Add 2 cups of flour to the batter and continue mixing for 5 minutes. It will be sticky.
2 cups flour
Take it off the double boiler and let it cool for 2 minutes. On the counter, add flour and shape it into a ball.
Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each one out with a rolling pin into a circular shape.
If sticky, add more flour. Bake each thin layer for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and cut out a perfect circle by placing a plate over the top and tracing with a knife. This will make them all equal in size. You can also do this step before you make it.
Save the outside of the circle pieces for decorating the cake later.
