Bring the honey to a boil in a pan and add the lemon zest and ginger. Put in the teiglach, a few at a time, so they do not stick together, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until they become a rich brown color. If the honey becomes too thick and sticky, add a little water to thin it. A variation is to bake the nuggets of dough in the oven for 5 - l0 minutes before cooking them in the honey, but this will harden them more. An old favorite of my family and a truly great company dessert.
Flute edges and refrigerate until dough chills.
