About
| Lebkuchen are a classic German Christmas gingerbread. Lebkuchen vary from region to region in sweetness, spices, raising method, texture and even name, sometimes being known as Pfefferkuchen or Honigkuchen. Most are sweetened with honey, strongly spiced and include nuts or candied fruit. Our recipe excludes nuts but uses rye flour. Rye flour is common in German baking and gives a nutty flavour and wholesome texture. |
Decorations are up to you. I like the simplicity of using nuts and glacé cherries. Many recipes will include coating your lebkuchen in chocolate or a thin icing, though personally I find this too sugary, as they are already quite a sweet biscuit.
My first encounter with making Lebkuchen was with from Anja Dunk’s fabulous book on Festive German baking, Advent.
Makes roughly 20 biscuits

Crisp at the edges, tender in the middle, and full of nutty depth, fava bean farinata makes a beautiful centrepiece for a light meal. Paired with smoky, charred spring onions and a refreshing herb and cucumber salad, it's both fresh and comforting.
Try this seasonal British classic using our organic four-grain muesli base, wholemeal flour and poppy seeds for extra plant diversity. And feel free to switch the fruit for whatever's in seasonal abundance.
This satisfying subji - a dish of vegetables - features soft, spiced carrot koftas baked to perfection and served in a rich, earthy “nomato” sauce made with beetroot, squash and courgette. Made with fava bean flour and wholemeal wheat flour, the koftas are high in protein and fibre, with warming spices like cumin, turmeric, and sumac for depth and zing.
