    Title: Elisenlebkuchen
    Categories: Christmas, Cookies
    Yield: 1 Batch

    2 Eggs
    50 g Sugar
    125 g Honey
    4 ts Lebkuchen spice; up to 5 ts
    200 g Ground almonds
    200 g Ground hazelnuts
    50 g Candied lemon peel
    50 g Candied orange peel
    3/8 ts Hirschhornsalz
    1/4 ts Salt

    Mix almonds, hazelnuts, spice, and Hirschhornsalz together and set
    aside.

    Beat eggs, sugar, and salt until the mixture is fluffy.

    Add honey, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel and mix well.
    You're not supposed to mix it too much to preserve the fluff, but
    sometimes it's quite difficult to get the honey and candied peels
    mixed properly otherwise.

    Mix in nut mixture.

    Create patties about 7 cm in diameter and 0.5 to 1 cm thick on a
    tray. It is easiest to form them properly with wet fingers.

    Leave on tray for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.

    Bake at 150?C for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are light brown.
    Watch them carefully, they burn quite easily.

    Glaze with chocolate or other glazing.

    Notes:

    Usually, these are made on top of "Backoblaten" (thin wafer papers for
    baking), but I am not a huge fan of those.
