method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) Gas Mark 4..
2. Mix together the biscuit crumbs and butter and press onto the base of a 25 cm greased, loose bottomed spring form tin.
3. Whisk all the filling ingredients together until smooth. Taste for sweetness (you may like to add a little more honey).
4. Pour onto the crumb base and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. The centre should be firm and the edges slightly brown. Leave to cool in the tin.
