We bought this Malt about a year ago at local Carrefour store, as we knew - this day will come

Foil

Put your gingerbread dough in a foil and store it in your fridge for couple of days.

Huh - that was a long photo post, right - the funny thing, to write about food is super complicated, if honest I learned a lot of new words in English. to knead a dough, for example.

So here comes the short version:

  • Pour into a pot a malt and sugar, bring up to the boil. Add half of flour, add spices, stir with wooded spoon until the dough separates from pot.
  • Add scrambled egg and rest of the flour.
