Tula Gingerbread

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Genuine Tula gingerbread, lovingly made by hand, will become a favorite treat for both children and adults. This dessert can be served with tea or cocoa. But Tula gingerbread tastes best with a glass of warm milk. This baked good stays soft for a long time, so you can prepare a large batch. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   In a deep dish, combine eggs with sugar, add baking soda, honey, and spices. Grate the margarine or finely chop it, then add to the egg mixture.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Place the mixture over a water bath to warm. When it begins to increase in volume and foam, remove from heat. Add a cup of sifted flour to the hot mixture and cool.

3. 3

   Step 3

   After cooling, add the remaining flour and knead the dough. If it holds its shape well but sticks slightly to your hands, you're doing it right. Avoid over-flouring the dough, otherwise the gingerbread will turn out hard.

4. 4

   Step 4

   Roll out the dough into a ½ cm thick layer and cut it into rectangles. Place jam onto one half of each rectangle, then fold over the other half. Press the edges of the dough together with your fingers or a fork to prevent the filling from leaking out.

   Step 5

   Place the resulting packets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C for 10-15 minutes. Remove the gingerbread from the oven as soon as they turn golden brown.
