Our euromaxx reporter Mathias Stamm set out to try his hand at making some of the best-known specialties from various European countries. Today he starts off in Nuremberg, the best place to learn how to whip up a batch of Germany's version of gingerbread cookies.

I watch this video over and over. I want to go to that bakery, and Nuremberg is beautiful! Wish I could live there.
Have you been there now?

My merchant,Esther might bake it in her bakery when the holidays arrive

Awesome, thanks DW!
The most German of all German cities!

Mathius: , das allebeste Rezept für Lebkuchen Nürnberger Art, ist im alten "Bayrisches Kochbuch" auf St, 713. 1974 Auflage 43. J.G. Weiß'sche Buchdruckerei München. Guten Apitit, und alles Gute!!
scubawrestler can you translate?
I want that book , is it in English?
@@notnotknowing2946 Sadly, I'm sure it is long out of print as I have it, but there must be a Bavarian Cooking cook book in English somewhere.
Love Lebkuchen
What is the name of the bakery? I might order online right now!
Looks like "Düll" or "Düll Bäckerei". If you can't find them i recommend baking them by yourself^^
Gute Information!
How long are they left to dry? 24 hrs? Also the special equipment he uses to round off the cookie dough, can I purchase that anywhere? Thank you
When i do them 1-2 hours.
instead of the special equipment you can use the bottom side of a teacup
Never would I have thought that a Lil Peep song would into a Lebkuchen documentary
What is going on ahaha
😅
The Wunder Cookie!
Where is Ginger?
"Ginger bread"?
It's one of his not-so-mysterious mystery spices. Lol

Lovely! I made my grandma a big batch of lebkuchen for Christmas to remind her of home at this time of year. Just sent them off to her yesterday. They really do take patience to make but aren't too difficult when you know what to do. Mine have pretty much the same ingredients to this baker :D I don't know all his spices but I'm sure its not far off.
whats your recipe? pls share =)
I'm sorry for replying sooo late, I didn't check through all my
notifications on here, but I'm happy to share my recipe if you are still
interested! :)
Ingredients:
113g Butter, softened
1 Cup Soft brown sugar
3 Cups Plain flour
Lebkuchen Spices:
(2 tablespoons ground Cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground Cloves, 1/2 teaspoon
ground Allspice, 1/4 ground Nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground Corriander, 1/2
teaspoon ground Ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground Anise seed)
1 1/2 tablespoons baking Soda/ Bicarbonate of Soda
1/3 Cup Marzipan (optional)
1 3/4 Cup ground Almonds/Almond Flour
1/4 cup chopped Almonds
1/4 cup chopped Hazelnuts
1/2 Cup Candied Lemon Peel, diced
1/2 Cup Apricot Jam
1 Cup Milk (dairy, soya or almond milk are all fine)
1 Cup Good Honey
1 Cup Molasses or Treacle
2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
4 Eggs
Vanilla extract
Lebkukchen rice paper circles/wafers (optional)
To decorate:
Whole /Sliced Almonds
Dark Chocolate (Or Icing)
Method:
Warm the Molasses/Treacle and the Honey in a large pot on medium low
heat (be careful not to burn it). Mix together the sugar and softened
butter in a bowl until creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, beat
together well. Add the Apricot jam and lemon peel.
Add the mixture to the heated honey and molasses/treacle in the large
pot. Next add in your baking soda. Add in the Lebkuchen spices, milk,
ground almonds, nuts, cocoa and flour. Mix everything togetheruntil well
combined.
Leave the mixture well covered with cling film and lid to sit overnight,
or at the very least 8 hours. This will let the spices and other
ingredient's flavour blend and strengthen, the mixture will also firm up
nicely to work with.
Uncover and divide the mixture into circles. You can divide them from
about 2 inches wide or larger if you prefer. If you have the Lebukchen
wafer circles you can use them as your size marker, covering them. Place
them on a baking sheet covered with greased or sprayed baking paper.
Remember to give them space from each other as they like to spread out
when baking.
Bake in a pre-heated oven on about 180 C / 350F for 25-30 mins.
Depending on the speed of your oven. Check them with a toothpick and if
it comes out clear they are done.
Allow to cool on a wire rack.
If decorating, melt the chocolate and coat the top side of the
lebkuchen. Decorate with the Almonds. Leave to set until the chocolate
is competely cooled and firm.
Enjoy! If you try it out, let me know how it went and if you liked the recipe! :D

@Pia Agaskar Well recognized!
Where does one get those little spinning pedestals that they use to shape the lebkuchen?
Thank you!
I can't get this in America so I have to find an alternative.
You can make one like in the video at home. Just get 2 wood disk, a wood cylinder, 2 nails and a hammer
Where is the recipe?
