Instructions
Melt the honey until it is liquid.
Mix the egg with potash until dissolved and combine with the honey.
Add all the dry ingredients and knead the dough until it is uniform and smooth.
Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
The next day, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 4 mm.
Cut out heart shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving plenty of space as they will rise significantly.
Bake the cookies at 175°C (conventional oven) for 5-8 minutes until they are risen.
Let the cookies cool.
Melt the chocolate over a water bath and brush the cookies.
Optionally, decorate with icing and glossy images.
Store the honey hearts in an airtight container.
