Kumquat Cookies
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. Special attention in this recipe should be given to the preparation of kumquats; I don't recommend baking them fresh, otherwise they will curl up. It's better to simmer them slightly beforehand in butter and sugar. The baked goods turn out aromatic, delicious, and interesting. Each batch of cookies turns out slightly different, but always aromatic and very tasty.

Step 1
1. First, I wash and slice the kumquats into rings. I place 20 grams of butter in a pan, add a tablespoon of granulated sugar, melt it, then add the kumquats and cook for 10 minutes over low heat. For the dough: I mix flour with baking powder and salt. I add grated fresh ginger and cinnamon, then rub them into cold butter (100 grams). Into this crumb mixture, I add sugar, honey, and an egg. I knead the dough, divide it into two parts, and roll each part into a 3-mm thick sheet.
