Softened butter is ground with flour into crumbs. Add spices and mix.

In a separate container, beat the egg with sugar.

Step 7:
From the dough we make balls the size of a walnut and put them next to each other so that they touch. During the baking process, they will grow in size and tightly connect, forming "honeycomb". Bake the gingerbread at 190-200 degrees. about 20 minutes.
