Arkhangelsk kozuli

Description

Delicious baked treats for the whole family. Making kozuli is not difficult at all. However, you should start preparing them 4-5 days before the holiday, as the dough needs to be left in the refrigerator for 4 days. We'll prepare the dough using sugar caramel, spices, and wheat flour, then decorate the finished pastries with royal icing. Let's get started. Serve with tea or coffee.
