Ingredients

Servings: 50

200 g liquid honey
100 g sugar (e.g. finer brown)
50 g butter/margarine
1 fresh egg (Gr. M)
350 g Flour
1 coated Tsp Baking Powder
7-10 Tbsp 1 1⁄2 Tsp Gingerbread spice
7-10 Tbsp Salt
100 g Icing sugar
7-10 Tbsp sugar pearls
baking paper

Directions

1
Line two trays with baking paper. Heat honey, sugar and fat over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Cool down for about 5 minutes.
2
Separate the egg. Stir egg yolk into the honey mixture. Mix flour, baking powder, spice and 1 pinch of salt and pour it on the honey mixture. First knead everything with the hand mixer and then briefly with your hands until smooth.
3
Chill for about 30 minutes.
4
Cut the dough in half. Form both halves of the dough into a roll (approx. 30 cm long). Cut each roll into 25 pieces, form them into balls and spread them on the trays with a distance between them. Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric oven: 175°C/circulating air: 150°C/gas: level 2) for 15-20 minutes.
5
Let it cool down.
6
Sift the icing sugar. Mix the egg whites and icing sugar in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer to a thin, creamy glaze. Spread the biscuits with it, decorate with pearls. Let the icing dry.
