    I baked the gingerbread cookies according to the recipe (I made eight of them, the size of classic Tula gingerbread). They were delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe. I think I'll be making them often; my family and friends are insisting :)

    My first attempt at gingerbread. It turned out wonderful. The honey was sent from Samara, and the jam was homemade—apple and sloe. It baked in the oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. Thanks, Pavel! Good luck!

    It doesn't taste much like Tula gingerbread, but it's still very tasty 😌 I made my own apple and nectarine jam, and it's delicious. Thank you.

      So, everyone's sugar dissolved in the butter, right?
      Answer
      • Oleg Ustinov

        Good afternoon. Sugar dissolves well in hot, liquid melted butter when stirred vigorously. This technique is common in cooking.

    I made syrup.
    didn't freeze!
    Answer
    • Oleg Ustinov

      Hello. When boiling, the syrup must reach a temperature of 115-116°C. If the temperature is lower, the syrup will not set. Cook until it thickens. If you don't have a thermometer, you can test the readiness of the syrup by dropping a small amount into cold water. The drop should quickly solidify.

    Hello! This is not the first time I've made these gingerbread cookies. They're sooo delicious! I use sugar syrup and homemade jam made from various fruits, but otherwise follow the recipe. I bake them for less time, about 15-20 minutes, and even less if you're making them without filling. Check the color of the dough and the crust. Thanks for the recipe!
