Honey gingerbread appeared in Rus' in the 9th century, and in the 12th century, spices began to be actively added to them. This is how they are still prepared. Another aspect that has remained unchanged since ancient times: half of the composition is still honey. Thanks to this, the gingerbread does not go stale for a very long time - however, it is unlikely that anyone has time to keep it stale. In our recipe, the dough turns out to be quite liquid, so the gingerbread sheet will have to be divided into portions after baking.
