Gingerbread - Пряники

Christmas baking wouldn't be complete without the cute Gingerbread Figures.

We bake gingerbread every year,  when the Christmas is approaching. This is a traditional biscuit in Hungary. Ginger is totally omitted from Hungarian Gingerbread. This is a honey biscuit with cinnamon.
