How to make it
- Heat the honey and butter in a saucepan over a low heat. When the butter has melted, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.
- Add the egg and mix well with the whisk. The mixture must not be hot.
- Stir in the salt, cinnamon and spices. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the milk and add it.
- Sift in the flour and knead until smooth. The dough is very sticky; a stand mixer helps.
- Scrape the dough out with a spatula, wrap it in cling film and put it in the fridge for 24 hours. The cold rest is needed before rolling out and cutting.
- The next day, roll the dough out into sheets and cut out shapes. Bake each tray for 8 minutes at 180°C, without the fan.
