Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the barmbrack into 0.5-inch-thick pieces. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk butter, honey, cinnamon, salt, and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lay slices flat in a single layer.

  4. Step 4

    Toast 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy at the edges. Work in batches if needed.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer toast to a plate. Spread each slice generously with whipped butter while still warm.

  6. Step 6

    Top with candied peel or apricots if using. Serve immediately.
