Recipe

  1. Step 1 1

    Tip the dry ingredients into a large bowl.

  2. Step 2 2

    Heat the honey and butter in a pan over a low heat until the butter melts.

  3. Step 3 3

    Then pour into the flour mixture along with the lemon zest.

  4. Step 4 4

    Mix well until the dough is combined and fairly solid. Cover and leave to cool.

  5. Step 5 5

    Heat oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4.

  6. Step 6 6

    Using your hands, roll dough into about 30 balls, each 3cm wide, then flatten each one slightly into a disk. (kinda like this pic but your dough should be a different colour.)

  7. Step 7 7

    Bake for 10mins, then cool on a wire rack. No, not that cat, the dough!!! lol sorry couldn't resist :D

  8. Step 8 8

    Divide the biscuits between two baking trays lined with baking parchment, leaving room for them to expand. (Same as above: your should be a different colour than in pic.)

  9. Step 9 9

    To ice the biscuits, mix together the icing sugar, egg white and 1-2 tbsp water to form a smooth, runny icing.

  10. Step 10 10

    Dip the top of each biscuit in the icing and spread with the back of a knife.

  11. Step 11 11

    Alternatively you can melt some chocolate and cover the top of them in chocolate instead. Both taste equally nice:D

  12. Step 12 12

    Hope that was easy to follow and that you now have the finished Lebkuchen. The best bit is they even smell really chrissmassy!
