Warm honey with brown sugar and spices just until fluid, then cool until it will not scramble the eggs.

Beat in eggs and sunflower oil, then mix with rye and wheat flours to form a firm fragrant dough.

Roll or press into small molded cakes, keeping the shapes even for baking.

Bake until set and lightly browned, then brush with a thin sugar glaze while warm.
