I’m pretty sure I made this for the very first time in Home Ec when I was in Year 8. Before I go on to lament on how Home Economics is seriously undervalued (actually, I won’t because we’d be here all day), I’d better give you the instructions in 10 words:
Heat butter. Add honey. Add [...]

3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup of vegetable oil
