Step 1
1. To prepare the dough, in a small bowl combine honey, baking powder, milk, soft butter, a pinch of salt, and vanilla sugar. You can add cinnamon or ground ginger to the dough, for example. Add sifted flour and knead until you get a smooth, lump-free dough. It should not stick to your hands, but be careful not to overdo it with the flour.
