Magenbrot, a Swiss-German Gingerbread specialty, is an ideal addition to your holiday festivities, and it's easier to make. This speciality features flour, spices, honey, brown sugar, and a few more ingredients. The recipe begins with melting honey, butter, and brown sugar before adding an egg to the mixture. Then, in another bowl, several ingredients are mixed together, including flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg. Potash in rose water is added to the flour mixture to form a dough. Instant coffee powder is mixed with rum before being added to the flour mixture. The honey-butter mixture and the dough are combined before being spread over coconut fat and baked in the oven. The baked gingerbread pieces are glazed with caster sugar mixed with a small amount of water to finish.
