As I wrote on FB page, last week my German teacher has told me how to make the Lebkuchen. The Lebkuche are Christmas German Cookies. We had a really fun afternoon together and the result was excellent. Delicious Lebkuchen, perfect to enjoy anytime of the day and even more good along with a good cup of tea. There are two recommendations: the dough must rest still for a night and then be cooked for a very short otherwise they become hard. Lebkuchen then!
INGREDIENTS
- 5 eggs
- 18 oz of sugar
- half a teaspoon of bicarbonate
- 3 tablespoons of honey
- 25 oz of rye flour
- half a teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1 heaping teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 egg + 2 tablespoons milk for brushing
INSTRUCTIONS
- First of all , whisk with electric mixer the eggs with the sugar until they become double, they must become their foamy (it will take about 7 minutes )
- then add honey and spices and work again
- then change whip hook and put that, at this point begin to incorporate the rye flour slowly
- will form an elastic dough that has the consistency of pizza
- wrap in plastic wrap and let stand overnight in a cool, dry place (not in the fridge)
- the next day roll out the dough with the help of a little flour on the thickness of about 7 mm - should not be thin, and cut out the shapes of your choice
- bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for about 10 minutes
- freshly cooked immediately remove them from the baking tray and brush them with egg yolk mixed with milk
- this will make them shiny, and then store them in a tin box for 4 weeks
- I I dipped some in dark chocolate and they were delicious!
