- 50 g Icing sugar
- 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp Clove powder

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
In a saucepan, heat the honey with the icing sugar and spices until the sugar dissolves. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the flour and the cooled honey mixture. Knead until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
💡 Pro Tips: The dough should be stiff. If too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, a tiny bit more honey or water. - 3
Wrap the dough tightly and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).
💡 Pro Tips: Chilling the dough makes it easier to roll out thinly and hold imprints. - 4
Preheat your oven to 280°C (535°F).
- 5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough very thinly, about 2 mm thick.
💡 Pro Tips: Work with a portion of the dough at a time, keeping the rest chilled. - 6
Lightly brush your cookie stamps or molds with neutral oil. Press the molds onto the dough to create the designs.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the impression is clear and deep. - 7
Cut out the Tirggel shapes or carefully remove the impressed dough from the molds.
- 8
Bake for approximately 2 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are firm.
💡 Pro Tips: Watch them closely as they bake very quickly. They will firm up as they cool. - 9
Let the Tirggel cool completely on a wire rack.
💡 Pro Tips: They are best enjoyed after a day or two, allowing the flavors to meld.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓The high baking temperature and short time are essential. If your oven doesn't reach 280°C, bake at the highest temperature possible for a slightly longer time, watching carefully.
- ✓Traditional Tirggel are very hard and meant to be sucked on rather than bitten into.
- ✓If you don't have cookie stamps, you can use a patterned rolling pin or even cut them into simple shapes.
