Directions
- Beat eggs and sugar until mixture is thick.
- Fold in almonds (grated), candied fruits, cinnamon, lemon rind (grated), and Lebkuchengewürz. Mixed thoroughly.
- If using back-oblaten, add a tablespoon of mixture to each oblaten and spread to near edge keeping a mound in the center but the edge free. If not using oblaten, form into small balls and flatten, like making press cookies.
- Place either on a parchment-covered baking sheet, uncovered, and let set in a warm area for 12 hrs (overnight).
- Bake in a pre-heated 300° (F) oven - about 25 mins. It should rise slightly and turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on a rack.
- After partially cooled, glaze with Lebkuchen glaze (mix confectioner's sugar, corn starch together. Add extract. Form a glaze.) Or sprinkle with powdered sugar to coat.
- Decorate with slivered almonds.
Lebkuchengewürz / Lebkuchen Spice Mix
- Mix all ingredients together. If they are not already ground, grind them with a spice grinder
- Store in a sealed, airtight jar or container.
