Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Whisk the sugar and eggs until very foamy.
Add the cinnamon, cloves, lemon zest, and enough flour spoon by spoon to get a light, kneadable dough.
Turn onto a board, knead by hand, roll out half a little-finger thick.
Cut out shapes, place on a greased baking tray, bake until golden.
Once baked, brush with sugar syrup, and put back in the oven to dry.
It will be very hard at first, but will soften later.

Based on: Malatinszky Fanny szakácskönyve (a classic Hungarian cookbook), modernised. Calories and protein are estimated.
