About this deal

If you are unsure of the spacing, edge the letters with a skewer lightly on the cake and then trace with the icing. The latter type of Lebkuchen is typically harder than other varieties and is found at Oktoberfest, Christmas markets, and festivals. They’re typically bought for fun rather than to eat. In a bowl mix flour with baking powder (use a flour sieve), make a small mold and add salt, eggs and honey dough into the mold, knead until you get a firm dough. I couldn’t find any ground hazelnuts, star anise or cloves, so I had to ‘grind’ them myself, and with only a hand-held blender to help, it took ages. And then, instead of being able to just bung everything in a processor, there was rubbing the butter into the flour, and kneading (for another age, it seemed) to get the mixture together and pliable. You will find these gingerbread hearts typically sold at any larger German fair such as Oktoberfest, Christmas Markets or Kirmes. They are popular souvenirs and are great as gifts.

This also means they are sturdier than normal gingerbread, though if you’d like them softer you can bake them for 5 minutes less, either way, they are perfectly edible, and if you aren’t keeping them for posterity it would be a shame to waste all those lovely ingredients. What to do with hard or stale Lebkuchen? For Lebkuchen to be considered Nürnberger Lebkuchen, it must be made in the Nürnberg (Nuremberg in English) area. What Spices are in Traditional German Lebkuchen? Lebkuchen was invented by monks in Franconia, Germany, in the 13th century. Lebkuchen bakers were recorded as early as 1296 in Ulm, and 1395 in Nürnberg (Nuremberg). The latter is the most famous exporter today of the product known as Nürnberger Lebkuchen (Nuremberg Lebkuchen).

You can mix up your own spice mix, and I’ve given an example in the FAQ’s below. What is written on Gingerbread Hearts? Using your cookie cutter or using a self-cut template, cut out the hearts and place them on a tray lined with parchment.

For allergens, see ingredients in bold. May also contain peanuts, nuts, sesame, egg, lupin and other gluten sources (rye, barley, oats, spelt). Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia. Actually one finds Gingerbread Hearts not only at the Oktoberfest they also are on every Christmas market in Germany. What to write onto Oktoberfest Gingerbread Heart in German / Bavarian I also like to add a little unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa as this gives the Lebkuchenherzen a lovely dark colour and rich shine.Why not share our Facebook Group - Homemade German Food & Recipes. Here we chat about German Food and share recipes. Interested in German Christmas? These Lebkuchen Herzen are easy to make from scratch. My advice is: give yourself enough time for this recipe as you will have to do a lot of waiting. Waiting for the cake batter to cool down, waiting for the dough to rest, and waiting for the icing to set. However, the wait will be worth it! Trust me!
