Preparation:

Mix the ingredients into a smooth dough and leave for 30 minutes.

Roll the dough 0.5 mm thick, cut and decorate the ornaments.

Bake at 165°C for 10 min.

Coat with honey while still warm.

If different flours are being used, use one to make the base and another for the ornaments, to achieve a colourful effect.
