Melt butter, sugar and syrup slowly in a pot

Take it off the heat and add the spices to the mix. Leave it to cook until it is lunk warm (hand temperatur)

Mix the potash with a bit of water. It is important that they potash does not get into the mixture until it is lunk warm - or the reaction can be pretty wild (as in caramel all over the table wild).

Add the almonds and the flour to the mix

Knead it together and roll the mixture into sausages. The sausages should be about the thickness of a broom handle. Wrap them in clingfilm.

Put them into the freezer until they are hard. This takes a few hours. They keep for at least a year in the freezer.

Cut the cold sausages with a sharp knife into thin slices.

Place the slices on a baking tray (with baking paper) and bake them for 5-8 minutes at 200 C. Until they are darker, but not burned. They burn quickly so keep an eye on them.
