300 g of flour
3 tbsp of honey
100 g of sugar
150 g of margarine
1 egg
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of cinnamon
For the frosting:
200 g of sugar
3-4 tbsp of sour cream (a thicker, tangier version of sour cream common in Eastern European cuisine)
2-3 tbsp of cocoa powder
100 g of margarine (or butter)
vanillin, rum essence
100 g of ground nuts
In a bowl, combine the sifted flour with baking soda and add the margarine, cutting it in until there are no lumps. Then add the sugar, egg, honey, and cinnamon, and knead the dough. Knead for a while until the dough becomes elastic. Roll out the dough to fit a baking sheet, prick it with a fork, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 30 minutes. While still warm, cut the baked dough into squares or rectangles, let them cool, dip in the frosting, and then coat with ground nuts. Serve on a dessert plate.
To prepare the frosting: Mix the sugar with the sour cream, bring to a boil, then add the cocoa, vanillin, and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the margarine (or butter) and a few drops of rum essence. Keep the frosting over a water bath to prevent it from cooling too quickly. If the frosting thickens, gently reheat it.
