If dough seems too dry add more milk, a tablespoon at a time until it comes together. You want it to stick together when pinched between your fingers.Taste test and add more honey or vanilla if you think it needs it.If you want sprinkles dispersed in the batter then fold (some or all of) them in.Add the dough to the lined pan and spread out with the back of a spoon.Top with sprinkles by pressing them into the dough at the top.Place in the fridge for a 1-2 hours, cut into 7-8 bars or more smaller squares.Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
