The tradition of drinking tea with sweets appeared in Rus', because the main thing at the table was heart-to-heart talks, and not enjoying the drink itself, as, for example, in Japan. If you, like most of your compatriots, like to complement your tea drinking with something tasty, but are fasting, we suggest making Lenten gingerbread. Their texture is a little denser than usual, but just as tender and soft.

How to cook Lenten gingerbread

Step 1

Mix all liquid ingredients in a deep bowl.

Step 2

Add flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon to a bowl.

Step 3

Knead the dough.

Step 4

Form small balls from the dough and flatten them a little so that they resemble gingerbread cookies. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the gingerbread cookies on it.

Step 5

Place the baking tray in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Let the gingerbread cool slightly and serve.
