Mix the flour with necessary warm water to make dough like bread. Add

honey and a handful of flour. Break and add the eggs and half the
cinnamon, and mix well.
Butter a pan and with a rolling pin roll out the dough to the size of
round pan letting the dough over the edges. Spread the mixture over the
dough and bake in 350 degree preheated oven for about 30 minutes. When
