Lebkuchen I always look forward to the Christmas sweets at supermarkets. I cannot go past Lebkuchen. There are heart shaped chocolate coated ones, with or without a filling. There are flat, disc shaped ones. There are pretzel shaped ones, and star shaped ones with a hole in the middle. They are all irresistible. Speaking with a lot of experience of having eaten far too many, I highly recommend the heart shaped ones with orange jam filling. Outside the realm of the supermarket world, Lebkuchen can also be found sold as large heart shapes with writing on them, usually personalised messages, and as a Lebkuchenhaus, similar to a gingerbread house. I could not help having a go at making my own this year. I made the flat, disc shaped variety. But, I needed Lebkuchengewürz. That’s a special mix of spices! On my quest to learn more about spices, I discovered a shop called Gewürzhaus in The Strand, Sydney. Think of a lolly shop, but with spices instead of confectionary. The name is German for “spice house”, and the shop was started in Melbourne by two German sisters. It was fun asking about spices. Ingredients for Lebkuchengewürz, ground: - cinnamon (2 1/2 tbsp) - cloves (2 tsp) - allspice (1/2 tsp) - coriander seeds (1/2 tsp) - cardamom (1/2 tsp) - ginger (1/2 tsp) - star anise (1/2 tsp) - nutmeg (1/4 tsp) - mace (1/4 tsp) - I left this out as it was not in my spice collection at the time! Most authentic recipes use it though. The way to make the Lebkuchengewürz is to simply mix all the ground ingredients together. I used a spice grinder for some of the spices which were not pre-ground. In the picture below, before I mixed all the ground spices together, you can still make out which spice is which. The coriander seeds are on the right, where small pieces of their spherical shells can still be spotted. The leafy green one on the left is cardamom, as its green pods and contents were shredded to pieces. The dark brown at the bottom is cloves. One of the mixes at the top is star anise. Ginger is the lightest one. Ingredients for Lebkuchen: - 250 g orange and lemon mixed peel (candied) - 1/4 cups flour - 5 eggs - 1 1/4 cups brown sugar - 1/3 cup honey - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 250 g almond meal - 250 g hazelnut meal - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 3 teaspoons Lebkuchengewürz - slivered almonds as decoration Ingredients for the Chocolate Glaze: - 100 g dark chocolate - 1 tablespoon coconut oil Ingredients for the Sugar Glaze: - 120 g sifted icing sugar - 3 tablespoons water Steps: - Preheat oven to 150 degrees Celsius. - Toss the mixed peel with the flour (to keep it from sticking together) and then pulse in a food processor until finely minced. Set aside. - In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer until foamy. Add the sugar, honey and vanilla extract and beat with a hand mixer until combined. - Add the ground almond meal, ground hazelnut meal, salt, baking powder, Lebkuchengewürz, and mixed peel and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. The mixture will be wet but if it is too thin to scoop on to baking paper, add some more almond or hazelnut meal. - Scoop the mixture onto baking paper, making ovals, smoothing down the top. - Bake for 25 minutes. Allow to cool completely. - For the chocolate glaze, place chocolate and oil in a small bowl and microwave stirring occasionally, until melted. Use immediately. If glaze becomes firm, reheat in the microwave. - For the sugar glaze, place icing sugar and water in a small bowl and stir until smooth. - Dip half the Lebkuchen in the chocolate glaze and half in the sugar glaze. Arrange 3 slivered almonds on each Lebkuchen while the glaze is still wet. Let the Lebkuchen dry completely until the glaze is hardened. This made about 25 cookies for me, of varying sizes. They turned out great with people asking if they were store bought! For a more authentic recipe, use Backoblaten (thin discs made mainly of flour and sugar) as the base of each cookie. There’s many variations to this recipe, including a Lebkuchen slice which I will have to try out with all the left over Lebkuchengewürz that I now have!

Lebkuchen Ja se uvijek radujem Božicnim kolaćima u prodavnicama, a najdraži mi je Lebkuchen. Ima ih u obliku srca prelivenim čokoladom, sa i bez punjenja u sredini. Ima ih i u puno drugih oblika, kao što su disk, perec i zvjezdica. Lebkuchen se može kupit ne samo u samoposlugama nego i na pijacama i slastičarnama. Može se kupiti i veliki Lebkuchen u obliku srca i u obliku kučice-gingerbread house. Ove godine nisam mogla da ne napravim sama Lebkuchen u obliku diska. Trebala sam naći specijalan Lebkuchen začin. Tražeći sastojak za Lebenkuchen u radnji Gewürzhaus u Sidneju naućila sam puno novih stvari. Sastojci za Lebkuchengewürz: - cimet (2 1/2 kašike) - kličici (2 čajne kašike) - allspice (1/2 čajne kašike) - korijansko sjeme (1/2 čajne kašike) - kardamom (1/2 čajne kašike) - đumbir (1/2 čajne kašike) - zvejzdani anis (1/2 čajne kašike) - muškatni oraščić (1/4 čajne kašike) - mace (1/4 čajne kašike) - ali nisam ovo koristila, jer nisam kupila. Lebkuchengewürz se napravi kada se svi gore navedeni sastojci samelju i dobro promješaju. Na slici se vide samljeveni sastojci prije mješanja. Sastojci za Lebkuchen: - 250 g kandiranih naranča i limuna - 1/4 šolje brasna - 5 jaja - 1 1/4 šolja smeđed šećera - 1/3 šolje meda - 1 čajna kašika ekstrakta od vanilije - 250 g bademovog brašna - 250 g brašna od lješnjika - 1/4 čajne kašike soli - 1/2 čajne kašike prašak za pecivo - 3 čajne kašike Lebkuchengewürz - izrezani bademi za ukras Sastojci za cockoladnu glazuru: - 100 g tamna čokolada - 1 kašika kokosovo ulje Sastojci za glazuru šećera: - 120 g prosijan šećer za glazuru - 3 kašike vode Priprema: - Zagrijte pećnicu na 150 stupnjeva Celzija. - Kandirano voće i brašno pomješati rukom da se nebi zalijepilo. Takvu smjesu samljeti sitno u procesoru. - U velikoj zdjeli za miješanje mikserom pjenasto umutiti jaja. Dodati šećer, med i ekstrakt vanilije i miksati tu smjesu dok se smjesa neujednaći. - Dodajte preostale sastojke, i tu smjesu sada dobro promješajte sa drvenom kuhacom. Ako je smjesa previše tećna dodajte malo više brasna od badema ili lješnjaka. - Kašikom formirajte male disckove i stavljajte na papir za pećenje. - Pećite 25 minuta. Ostavite da se potpuno ohladi. - Za čokoladnu glazuru stavite čokoladu i kokosovo ulje u malu zdjelu. Istopite u mikrovelnoj pećnici uz povremeno mješanje. Odmah koristiti. Ako glazura postane čvrsta opet podgrijte glazuru u mikrovalnoj pećnici. - Za glazuru šećera stavite šećer u prahu u malu zdjelicu sa vodom i miješajte dok ne postane glatko. - Umočiti pola Lebkuchena u čokoladnu glazuru i pola u glazuru šećera. Ukrasite sa tri listica badema na svaki Lebkuchen dok je glazura još vlažna. Ostavite Lebkuchen da se ohladi I glazura stvrdne. Ovaj recept napravi oko 25 Lebkuchen kolačica koji su tako dobri da me pitaju da li su iz prodavnice. Za više autentičan recept, koristite Backoblaten (tanki disk uglavnom od brašna i šećera) kao baza svakog kolačića. Postoji mnogo varijacija na ovaj recept, uključujući pećenje Lebkuchena ujednom komadu u tepsiji. Pošto imam jos dosta Lebkuchengewürza, morati ču probati i tu varijantu.
