Sweet Cheese Cake but not as we know it….
Cheese was generally salty in Roman times and while the recipe above does not state it, other sources for libum contain honey. The combination of a salty cheese and a honey finish would not go down too well; as such, a soft-cheese substitute has been chosen to make a ‘sweet’ cheese cake based on the recipe above.
Instructions
• Sift the flour into a bowl. Beat the cheese until smooth.
• Combine the flour, cheese and egg into a soft dough. It will be quite sticky.
• Split the dough into 4 and place on a grease-proof papered baking tray.
• Place them in the oven for 30 minutes, oven setting 220 degrees Celsius, until golden brown on top.
• Score and pour warmed honey over them.
• Leave to cool for 10 minutes and serve.
