This weeks Recipe of the Week has been inspired by a Matt Preston specialty from Delicious Magazine. This slice is traditional home style cooking at its best and wonderful if you have a sweet tooth. It’s also simple to make. Two thumbs up from the team.

Serving size: makes approximately 16 slices

Ingredients:

90g unsalted butter, melted

120g brown sugar

1 cup (150g) plain flour

1/2 cup (70g) almond meal

Almond Topping

125g unsalted butter

95g honey

1 1/2 cup (200g) slivered almonds

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 170’Celcius. Grease a 19cm x 30cm pan (or similar) and line the base and sides with baking paper.
2. Combine the butter, sugar, flour and almond meal in a large bowl and mix well to combine (if the mix seems floury, add a little extra butter).
3. Spread evenly over the base of the prepared pan.
4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and stand on a wire rack.
5. Meanwhile, to make the topping, place the butter and honey in a small heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is lightly caramelised.
6. Stir in the nuts and then pour evenly over the cooked base.
7. Bake for a further 12-15 minutes until golden.
8. Remove from the oven and stand on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into slices to serve. Enjoy.
