a recipe from my grandma

Heat the fat, sugar, honey, and beetroot syrup over low heat until dissolved, then let cool. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Mix the flour with spices, rock sugar, and baking powder and knead into the sugar mixture. Roll out the dough to the thickness of a knife’s back and cut into strips (approx. 2 x 8 cm). Bake for 6-8 minutes. Meanwhile, mix a thick glaze from the powdered sugar, rum, and lemon juice. Brush the glaze onto the Printen while still hot.
