4. Next chop the margarine into small cm squares and drop into the mix. Break down the margarine with your fingers till all of the clumps are gone.
5. Add 8 drops of lemon juice to the milk. Then slowly add the low fat milk into the mix. I use a knife to work in the milk to keep as much air in the mix.
6. Continue adding milk until mix is moist and add in the honey.
7. Powder you chopping board with flour and kneed the mix for a few second so as not to force out the air. Maneuver the mix like a pizza base and lay flat on board.

9. Place in pre-heated oven for 10 - 15 minutes. Cool and enjoy!
