Nonnettes, meaning 'little nuns', are traditional French gingerbread and honey cakes filled with jam or any other special filling and usually drizzled with a touch of sugary glaze. Gingerbread comes in many varieties, with many countries having their own particular version. In France, nonnettes are the true icon of honey pastries that originated in the region of Burgundy during the Middle Ages.
