Lebkuchen, Sabina Welserin recipe 163

[mmcnealy]

I attempted recipe 163 out of Sabina Welserin's cookbook yesterday, and today I baked it.

Woot! We have cookies!

The cookie stamps worked better than my cookie mold, but it was a shortbread cookie mold, not one designed for lebkuchen.

So now I'm thinking of purchasing s springerle mold from these folks, the second coat of arms, number 6370, as it appears to be the most similar to the extant molds in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum.. The molds on this page are also a possibility. I really like the three at the end.

(The path the the molds on bildindex is Orte / N / Nürnberg / Sammlungen / Germanisches Nationalmuseum / Kunstgewerbe / Hausgerät / Backgerät / Backmodeln / ab 1445)

I'm going to try 164 today, and bake it tomorrow.

I've also had good fortune with "House on the Hill". They have replicated extant molds and their quality is excellent.

Congrats! I second the recommendation of House on the Hill. If you ever make it up north to PA, there's a little place in Strasburg, just outside of Lancaster, called the Springerle House, which sells cookies and molds, and has the real baker's ammonia/hartshorn, too. I discovered them one day while on my way back from taking my little guy to "A Day Out with Thomas" at the nearby Strasburg Railroad, which is also a great reason for you to head up there, when your little guy is a little older.

Cheers!

That's amazing, Marion! Hurray!

We have so much in common; it irks me that I don't talk to you more.

I've been working on this for about a year half-heartedly, and that day a few months ago that you posted the link to mold pictures on Bildindex, you breathed new life into my project. For our kingdom Queen's Prize A&S event at the end of the month, I've entered my redaction of Welserin's lebkuchen made with my own hand-carved mold.

I'm so excited, but I'm even more ecstatic that you're working on the same thing. I'm glad it's going well!

A hand carved mold!?! Waaaah! I want to do that!

*sigh* next year, this year is already too packed.

I can't wait to see pictures of your mold, and the resulting cookies.
