About Medenka

Medenka is a traditional honey cookie originating from Eastern European cuisine, particularly popular in countries like Bulgaria and Serbia. These cookies are made with simple, natural ingredients, including honey, flour, eggs, sugar, and a blend of spices such as cinnamon and cloves, giving them a warm and aromatic flavor. Honey serves as the central ingredient, lending natural sweetness and contributing antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Medenka is often baked into bite-sized pieces and enjoyed as a snack or dessert, sometimes paired with tea or coffee. While honey offers nutritional benefits, including vitamins and energy-boosting sugars, Medenka can still be high in calories and added sugars, depending on the recipe. Moderation is key for enjoying its sweetness without overindulging. Its comforting flavors and use of wholesome ingredients make Medenka a beloved treat steeped in tradition.
