Mix the flour with necessary warm water to make dough like bread. Add the

honey and a handful of flour. Break and add the eggs and half the cinnamon,
and mix well.
Butter a pan and with a rolling pin roll out the dough to the size of round

bake in 350 degree preheated oven for about 30 minutes. When ready sprinkle
