Instructions

  1. Heat the honey with the brown sugar until melted, then let it cool slightly.
  2. Beat the eggs and mix them into the sweet mixture with the spices and peel.
  3. Add the flour mixed with the baking powder, then work until you have a smooth, sticky dough.
  4. Spread the dough on a tray lined with baking paper to about 1 cm thick.
  5. Bake at 180 °C for 20 to 25 minutes, until the surface is golden and a knife comes out dry.
  6. Let it cool completely, then cut out squares about 5 cm across.
  7. Spread a thin layer of apricot jam on each square and let it set.
  8. Melt the chocolate with the butter and oil, coat each square and sprinkle with almonds before the chocolate sets.

Variations and tips

Version without chocolate. Simply dust the squares with icing sugar for a plainer version.

Using what's easy to find here. Honey works well in place of the invert sugar syrup of the original recipes, and baking powder can be replaced by half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda.
