The first step is to prepare the syrup. Pour 3 tablespoons of water and sugar into a small saucepan, and cook the mixture over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Add honey and spices – cardamom and cloves – to the hot syrup. Let it cool.
Separate the yolks from the whites and rub them with butter and the syrup.
Mix thoroughly.
Sift flour, salt, baking powder (or soda) and cinnamon in a bowl.
Mix the flour mixture with the honey mixture and knead the stiff dough.
Form a ball from the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and put in a warm place for 1 hour.
After an hour roll the dough into sausage and cut it into pieces. Form a crescent-shaped sausage from each piece. Lay the crescents on baking paper and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 170 degrees. Cookies must acquire a golden hue.
Melt the chocolate on a water bath and add some brandy.
Carefully dip the ends of the cookies in hot chocolate. Lay the cookies on the grid; put an oilcloth under the grid (because chocolate will drip). Put the grid in a fridge.
As soon as the chocolate hardens, you may serve the cookies.

The flag of Great Britain, commonly known as the Union Jack or Union Flag, was a maritime flag of Great Britain from 1606 to 1801.[1][2] The design was ordered by King James VI and I to be used on ships on the high seas, and it subsequently came into use as a national flag following the Treaty of Union and Acts of Union 1707, gaining a regularized status as "the Ensign armorial of the Kingdom of Great Britain", the newly created state. It was later adopted by land forces, although the blue field used on land-based versions more closely resembled that of the blue of the flag of Scotland.
The flag consists of the red cross of Saint George, patron saint of England, superimposed on the Saltire of Saint Andrew, patron saint of Scotland. Its correct proportions are 1:2.
The flag's official use came to an end in 1801 with the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. At that time Saint Patrick's Flag was added to the flag of Great Britain to create the present-day Union Flag.
Creation
By James I of England, King of Scots, Orders in Council, 1606:
By the King: Whereas, some differences hath arisen between Our subjects of South and North Britaine travelling by Seas, about the bearing of their Flagges: For the avoiding of all contentions hereafter. We have, with the advice of our Council, ordered: That from henceforth all our Subjects of this Isle and Kingdome of Great Britaine, and all our members thereof, shall beare in their main-toppe the Red Crosse, commonly called St. George’s Crosse, and the White Crosse, commonly called St. Andrew’s Crosse, joyned together according to the forme made by our heralds, and sent by Us to our Admerall to be published to our Subjects: and in their fore-toppe our Subjects of South Britaine shall weare the Red Crosse onely as they were wont, and our Subjects of North Britaine in their fore-toppe the White Crosse onely as they were accustomed. – 1606[3]
King James had the habit of referring to a "Kingdom of Great Britain", considering that it had been created by the Union of the Crowns. However, despite the personal union which he represented, in practice England and Scotland continued as separate kingdoms, each with its own parliament and laws, for another century. The Kingdom of Great Britain finally came into being in 1707.[4]
The flag of the new Kingdom was formally chosen on 17 April 1707, two weeks before the Acts of Union of 1707 were to take effect. Sir Henry St George, Garter King of Arms, had presented several possible designs to Queen Anne and the Privy Council.[5] The principal alternative for consideration was a version of the flag with the Cross of Saint Andrew lying on top of that of Saint George, called the "Scotts union flag as said to be used by the Scotts", but this was rejected.
