The baking is simple and quick. I started with the hardest part: finding baking options. And I want to tell you about it. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
First, prepare the dough. In a saucepan, mix honey with salt, milk, and sugar. Simmer the mixture for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then add butter and baking soda. Increase the heat to high and stir vigorously for another 2 minutes. Remove the honey mixture from the heat, continuing to stir for 5 minutes.

Step 2
Add eggs to the slightly cooled mixture, sift in the flour (reserve 2.5 tablespoons for the cream), and add salt. Let the soft dough rest for 20 minutes under plastic wrap at room temperature. Then divide it into 10 layers, making holes in the center of two of them. Bake each layer for 5 minutes at 200 degrees. Let all the layers cool completely.

For the cream, mix milk with 2.5 tablespoons of flour and sugar. Place the mixture over heat and add chocolate as well. Dissolve the ingredients, then cool the mixture. Separately, beat the butter. Gradually add it to the cream, continuing to whisk until a uniform consistency is achieved.
