Danish christmas honey-hearts

A tip: if wanted, you can make these into honey-heart-bombs. All you need to do is make some buttercream, and only put chocolate on half the cakes. Put some buttercream on the ones without chocolate, and put one with, on top like a sandwich. Be aware that the dough has to rest for about a month (preferably longer), before it can be used. When the cakes have been baked they have to rest in the fridge for 2-3 days before they can be eaten. After that they can keep fresh for about 5-7 days if kept in the fridge in an airtight container.

venison salt1 tsp

potash1 tsp

Step 3

Grate the dough if it is too hard. Add the egg yolk, potash, ground cloves and ground cinnamon. Knead it all together for 6-8 minutes. It is easiest to use a mixer.

ground cloves1 tsp

ground cinnamon1 tsp

Step 4

Roll out the dough, until it is 4-5mm thick. Cut out hearts and put them on a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 5

Bake at 180 celcius for 8-10 minutes, until they have risen and have baked through. When they are still hot, they are very soft, so don’t touch them too much.

Step 6

When they have cooled down they are very hard. Which is why you put them in a dish/container, with a moist dishtowel covering the top. Put it in the fridge for 2-3 days, until they have gotten soft. Spray a bit of water on the dishtowel here and then, so it keeps being moist.

Step 7

Melt the chocolate and dip the cakes.

Step 8

The cakes can keep fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
