mmcnealyI attempted Lebkuchen recipe 151, version 2 yesterday. It came out much better than version 1. I used a tiny amount of clove and cardamom this time, and its much nicer tasting. They look like lacy golden leaves, and the cookies just melt on the tongue too, sooo yummy.
The texture of the dough as you are working it is really interesting. First its hot and sticky, like molten plastic, then it sets up quickly to a hard dough, so you have to work quickly once you have it out of the bowl and onto the floured board. I'm glad I made a half batch, as I'm not sure I could process a whole batch by myself before the dough sets up like concrete.
Now on to recipe 163, as soon as I get some mace spice and rosewater.
