They look great
What's the recipe?
Well they were in my cook book but it just said "Lebkuchen mixture" which no one sold anywhere so I attacked some friends and they gave me this recipe:
100g (4 oz) honey
100g (4 oz) treacle
175g (6 oz) dark brown soft sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
350g (12 oz) plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 oz diced candied citron
30g (1 oz) chopped hazelnuts
1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the honey and treacle. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar, egg, lemon juice and lemon zest. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg. Add the treacle mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the citron and hazelnuts. Cover dough and chill overnight.
2. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Grease baking trays. Using a small amount of dough at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to .5cm (1/4 in) thickness. Cut into small rectangles and place them 2cm (3/4 in) apart on the prepared baking tray.
3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until no imprint remains when touched lightly. Brush the icing over the biscuits while they are still hot and quickly remove them to wire cooling racks. Store in airtight container for a few days to mellow.
I of course didn't make them in to rectangles, then it is just coat those beauties in awesome amounts of chocolate
dust them in coca powder or decorate them any way you want ^^
