Pokrovsky Gingerbread
Description
Preparing Pokrovsky Gingerbread: 1. In a bowl, thoroughly mix eggs, sugar, margarine, cinnamon, honey, and baking soda. 2. Place the mixture over a water bath for 10 minutes. 3. Add flour gradually to form a soft, elastic dough. 4. Roll out two layers about 5 mm thick. 5. Spread filling on one layer, then place the second layer on top. If using condensed milk as filling, you may add ground walnuts. Seal the edges with a fork. 6. Place on a baking sheet greased with margarine. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200°C (392°F). 7. Glaze the surface of the baked gingerbread. To prepare the glaze, mix sugar and water, bring to a boil, and brush over the hot gingerbread. Prepare the glaze just before the gingerbread finishes baking. Serve the Pokrovsky gingerbread immediately with tea.
