1 kg flour
0.5 kg honey
250 g sugar

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Melt honey and sugar together, put spices into it and let the mixture cool. In a large separate bowl mix the other ingredients, add the honey mass, soft butter, and eggs. Make a smooth dough which should stay in peace for about 24 hours (or more!). Roll out in a sheet 1/2 cm thick, pin with a fork in several places, and bake in the hot oven for about 12-15 minutes. Decorate with sugar glaze when still hot.

Sugar Glaze
Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1 egg-white and 1-2 teaspoon lemon juice.
