Step by stepInstructions

1. Warm the honey, sugar, and water in a saucepan, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
2. Combine the flour, spices, lemon zest, and salt in a bowl. Pour in the honey mixture and stir into a stiff, smooth dough. Cover and rest at least 4 hours, or overnight.
3. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Roll the dough very thin—about 1/8 inch—on a lightly floured surface.
4. Cut into rectangles or stamp with decorative molds, and prick with a fork in a pattern if you like.
5. Bake 12–15 minutes until firm and lightly golden; they harden as they cool. Store in an airtight tin.
