Ingredients

650 g plain flour
100 g powdered sugar
50 g butter
150 g liquid honey
6-7 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons gingerbread spice
4 egg yolks + 1 for brushing

Preparation procedure

If you decorate the gingerbread with a sweet icing, 100 g of sugar is more than enough; in the original recipe there is up to 200 g, but that seemed too much to me. In any case, I'll leave it to your taste.
Put the flour, sifted sugar, baking soda, and gingerbread spice into a bowl. Mix everything, add the melted lukewarm butter, egg yolks, honey and milk and knead the dough. If it still crumbles, add a little more milk. It doesn't need to be left to rest in the refrigerator; you can roll it out immediately into a sheet about 0,5 cm thick and cut out shapes. If you want, you can decorate the gingerbread for example with a piece of walnut.
Bake at 170 ° C for about 10 minutes. Immediately brush the baked gingerbread with a yolk mixed with 1 tablespoon of water. Decorate with egg-white icing.
