Lebkuchen

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas 5.

2. Using either a hand whisk or electric hand whisk, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until it resembles thick cream.

3. Gradually add the almonds, candied orange peel, lemon rind, nutmeg and cinnamon and mix well.

4. Place rice paper onto a baking sheet and spoon approximately two tablespoons of the mixture per cookie, onto the rice paper.

5. Smooth the dough with a knife dipped into rose water to prevent it from sticking.

6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until firm to touch.

7. Remove cookies and allow to cool slightly.

8. Mix the icing sugar with lemon juice to form a paste and drizzle over the warm cookies.
