Swedish Gingerbread

Ingredients

3/4 deciliter water

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

125 grams butter

Let the sugar, water, syrup and spices boil in a pan for a couple of minutes. Keep stirring.

Take the pan of the heat and add the butter. Let it melt in the mixture.

Dissolve the bicarbonate of soda with a little bit of water, and mix with the flour.

Mix it all together and let the dough rest over night.

Heat the oven to 200C

With a rolling pin, try to get the dough fairly thin.

Cut out shapes with your most "christmassy" biscuit cutters, and bake in the oven for abut 5 minutes.

Let cool down on a baking rack.
