How to make it

  1. 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.
  2. Add the egg and mix well with the whisk. The mixture must not be hot.
  3. Stir in the salt, cinnamon and spices. Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda in the milk and add it.
  4. Sift in the flour and knead until smooth. The dough is very sticky; a stand mixer helps.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
