Danish Honey Cakes Recipe
MAKES ABOUT 46
¾ cup honey
1¼ cups firmly packed brown sugar
3½ cups plain flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
1½ teaspoons ground cloves
1½ teaspoons ground ginger
1½ teaspoons ground fennel
2 eggs, lightly beaten
ICING
3 cups icing sugar mixture, sifted
3 tablespoons boiling water
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 4 large baking trays with baking paper. Place honey and brown sugar in a saucepan, and stir over a medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Cool for 10 minutes.
Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and fennel into a large bowl. Make a well in centre of flour mixture, then pour in honey mixture and egg. Mix with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Using lightly floured hands, roll dough into walnut-sized balls. Place on prepared trays, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on trays.
To make icing, mix icing sugar, butter and water in a bowl until smooth. Top each honey cake with a teaspoonful of icing. Set aside for 30 minutes to set.
About the CHRISTMAS e-Book
The book gathers the Danish author’s preparations, celebrations and traditions for Christmas. She shares some of her heirloom Christmas recipes, how to make handmade decorations, favourite white flowers, and some of the traditions she was brought up with in Denmark and some new ones she have created living here in Australia.
About the Author
The author of the Christmas e-Book and creator of DK Design Kitchens new visual identity is the Danish Graphic Designer Kristine Lindbjerg. She has lived in Sydney, Australia, for the past 13 years with her husband and two sons.
She divides her time between working and living in the city and spending most weekends and holidays in the countryside at Turon Gates. She thrives in nature as it is where she refuels and gets inspired, but at the same time, she adores the buzz of the city and the amazing window decorations created by international brands in the city stores. She likes her life of contrasts: being in the garden in gumboots and dressing up with feathers for a party.
Being Danish, CHRISTMAS comes with a lot of beautiful traditions. It’s very important for her to pass these traditions on from her grandparents and parents to the next generation.
