1 1/2 cups honey
5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. allspice
1/16 tsp. black pepper
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda

Bring honey to a boil, then let cool while preparing other ingredients. Sift flour with spices. Beat eggs with sugar until thick in large bowl. Add baking soda, the lukewarm honey and enough flour to make a dough that can be easily handled. Roll out on a lightly floured board to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into various shares and bake until lightly browned in a 350 degree oven. Do not over-bake.
