Potrebno:
• 200 g meda
• 50 g maslaca
• 150 g šećera u prahu
• 500 g brašna
• 10 g bikarbone sode
• 4 žumanceta
• 1 jaje
• 1 kesica začina za medenjake (27 g)

Za glazuru:
• 1 belanac
• 100 g šećera u prahu

Med i maslac istopiti zatim ostaviti da se prohladi. U vanglici sjediniti brašno, šećer u prahu, bikarbonu sodu, začin, istopljeni med i maslac, žumanca i jaje. Umesiti testo zatim ga ostaviti najmanje na sat vremena u frižider.

Otkidati testo veličine oraha, a zatim od njega praviti kuglice i slagati na pleh prethodno obložen papirom za pečenje. Svaku kuglicu dlanom pritisnuti. Peći u zajrejanoj rerni na 180 °C 10 minuta.

Pečene medenjake izvaditi iz rerne i prebaciti na rešetku da se ohlade.
Viljuškom umutiti belance i šećer u prahu zatim svaki medenjak premazati glazurom i opet vratiti na rešeku da se glazura skroz osuši. Čuvati u dobro zatvorenoj kutiji.

Začim sam dobila još prošle godine iz Mađarske od prijateljice Josipe, a prošle nedelje sam videla da ga  ima u Metrou i divno je što  se može naći i kod nas. Ako znate u kojim još trgovinama ima, ostavite info u komentaru 🙂

Honey cakes

Ingredients:

• 200g of honey
• 50g of butter
• 150g of powdered sugar
• 500g of flour
• 10g of baking soda
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 egg
• 3 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 3 teaspoons of ginger
• ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon of ground clove

 

For the glaze:

• 1 egg white
• 100g of powdered sugar

 

Melt the honey and the butter and leave the mixture to cool. In a bowl combine flour, powdered sugar, baking soda, spices, melted honey and butter, egg yolks and one egg. Knead the dough, then leave it in the fridge for at least an hour.

Take parts of the dough, walnut size, and make balls out of it and place them on a pan which you previously covered with baking paper. Press each ball down. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes.

Take the honey cakes out of the oven and place them on a rack to cool.

Mix the egg white and powdered sugar with a fork and cover each honey cake with the glaze and again, place them on the rack until the glaze dries. Keep in a tightly sealed box.
