some biscuits

61. Leckerli

Leckerli are Swiss biscuits flavoured with honey and mixed spice. Even for a pastry retard like me, preparing leckerli is a piece of piss: 500 grams of flour, 350 grams of liquid honey (I only had about 300 grams of honey so I added 50 grams of treacle too), 75 grams of candied peel, 40 grams of slivered almonds, 20 grams of mixed spice (allspice, cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg and star anise) and a teaspoon of baking soda. 180 degrees for 20 minutes. Very rich.
