  • Kozinaki is best made in a copper or aluminum saucepan. 1. Set the pan over low heat and add the honey. Boil the honey down, stirring constantly, until it thickens — drop a little onto a dry plate and it shouldn't spread. This takes about 10 minutes on average. 2. Add the seeds. Stir continuously so nothing burns. Cook for 2 minutes (until you smell a pleasant toasted aroma, which means caramelization has begun). 3. Add the powdered sugar — this makes the kozinaki crisper. 4. Once the mixture is golden, smells great, and has the right consistency, take it off the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes. 5. Wash a wooden board and a rolling pin and wet them with cold water. 6. Spread the mixture onto the prepared board and roll it out into a layer about ⅜ inch (1 cm) thick. 7. After 5 minutes, cut shapes from the slightly set mixture. It's up to you — you can simply score the future pieces so the kozinaki is easier to break apart later. 8. Wait until the kozinaki has cooled completely. Enjoy with a sweet cup of tea!
