- 2 cups honey
- 5 1/2 cups flour
- 3/4 cup grated unblanched almonds

Heat honey until thin; do not boil. Mix in all other ingredients except icing. Turn onto floured board and knead until smooth, adding a little flour if necessary. Roll with a floured rolling pin to 1/2\" thickness. Grease and flour a baking sheet and lay rolled dough on it. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven about 20 minutes.
