Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 cups milk

• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Pour the arrowroot filling over the baked crust and spread it evenly. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the filling is set.
6. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.
7. Serve and enjoy these delicious arrowroot bars!
