Mix all the dry ingredients: flour, almonds, baking powder, baking soda and the spices in a large bowl. Heat up the butter with the honey until it melts, let it cool a little and pour over the dry ingredients.
Instructions to make Apricot Filled Lebkechun Hearts:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey and oil until melted. Turn the heat off and set the pan to one side.
- Weigh out the flour and then sift it into a large mixing bowl (discard the bigger bran flakes left in the sieve if using wholewheat flour). Add the ground almonds, spices and baking powder to the sieve and sieve these ingredients into the flour. Don’t discard the larger almond pieces, tip anything left in the sieve into the mixing bowl. Mix all dry ingredients together well.
- Pour the honey and oil into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Add the almond milk and bring the dough together in a slightly sticky dough.
- Roll the dough out between 2 sheets of parchment paper until it is approximately ¾ cm thick. Cut out 12 heart shapes from the dough.
- Put half of the hearts on a baking tray lined with more parchment paper. Spoon a small tsp of apricot jam into the centre of each heart.
- Using a pastry brush (or your finger), wet the edges of the heart with some water. Then put another heart shape on top of your cake, using your fingers to gently press the two hearts together.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden in colour. Allow to cool.
- Warm the almond milk and coconut oil in a small saucepan until hot but not boiling. Pour the hot milk and oil into a bowl containing the dark chocolate (broken into small pieces). Stir until all of the chocolate is melted. If you need to, put the chocolate in the microwave, or over hot water, for a few seconds to melt it all completely. Dip each heart into the chocolate glaze and allow to cool and set before eating.
We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock. Those early lebkuchen recipes included various imported spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, anise, cloves, and of course, ginger. Spices cost a lot of money in medieval Europe, so recipes that used them liberally provided a subtle means to display wealth. Lebkuchen commanded such respect in Nuremberg that it stood in for currency. These Weiss gingerbread cookies are covered with creamy milk chocolate and filled with delicious apricot jam.
