Ladders - a recipe for Russian cuisine, such cookies in the form of ladders were baked on Sunday of Lent. They are baked in honor of the memory of the work of St. John of the Ladder - "The Ladder of Paradise". After baking, the stairs were illuminated in the church and given to children. The dough from which the ladders are prepared quickly becomes stale, so they do not need to be stored, but it is better to eat on the same day. Crosses are baked from the same dough during the Holy Week and Novgorod Christmas cows are baked.
