How to Make Vosi Hnizda Czech Christmas Sweets

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour and chopped walnuts) to the honey mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  6. Once the dough is cool enough to handle, roll it into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
  7. Press each ball into the cups of an empty egg carton or beehive mold, creating the characteristic hive shape.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

  10. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve. Enjoy your homemade Vosi Hnizda!
