Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 8.8 oz
- Coarsely Ground Rye Flour - 8.8 oz
- Honey - 5.3 oz
- Sugar - 3.5 oz

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Place a small pot on the stove. Add butter, honey, and sugar. Stirring, bring to a boil without allowing it to bubble, and dissolve the sugar.
Step 2
While the sugar is dissolving, measure the required amount of flour, add a pinch of salt, spices, the egg, the yolk, and milk. Mix well.
Step 3
Add the hot honey mixture to the dough and knead well.
Step 4
The dough should be soft and slightly sticky to the hands. Wrap the finished dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, preferably overnight.
Step 5
Next, cut out shapes, bake, and decorate with icing.
Step 6
For the icing, separate the egg white from the yolk very carefully. Whisk with a fork until a light foam forms. Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to mix. Finally, add lemon juice. Mix until a stable mass forms.
Step 7
Cover with a damp cloth and let sit for 30 minutes to allow all the bubbles to escape.
Step 8
Transfer to a piping bag with a narrow tip (I use a small plastic bag and poke a hole in the corner with a toothpick). Draw patterns.
