makes about 50 pieces

Heat the honey, sugar, and margarine while stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool. Sift the flour and baking powder together with the spices and orange zest. Add the honey mixture and mix to form a smooth dough. Allow to rest for 1 hour. Knead the marzipan with the remaining orange zest and shape into 20cm long rolls. Chill the marzipan rolls for about 45 minutes. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Cut into five strips. Brush each strip with egg white. Place a marzipan roll in the middle of each strip, wrap in dough, and press down at the seams. Place the dough roll seam-down on a sheet of foil and chill for at least 5 hours (preferably overnight). Cut the rolls into slices about 1.5cm thick. Place them on a baking sheet, leaving space between each strip (the dough will rise), and bake at 175°C for about 15 minutes.
