I'm swiss and it's definitely cool to see those pictures of your trip from places where I've been to as well. Good to hear that you had a good time. As other people have pointed out they're originally from Basel and known as Basel Läckerli and as a kid I'd eat so many of them that I had to take a long break to be able to enjoy them again. Might try making them myself soon with this video.
Cheers, wanted to mix it up a touch today, it's hard to do this style for some videos, but fun at the same time to be reflective and add another layer to the video
Here in South Africa, The afrikaans word for a sweet (candy) is LEKKER. We also use it as slang for something that's really cool/nice ie: Have a lekker day.
Some comments explain it already, native german here: "Lecker" in german means tasty, delicious. In dutch it often also describes something good or nice. Overall a lovely name for a treat, although as one comment already mentioned that the term Leckerli in Germany describes a treat for a pet, in swiss many things will get sort of made more cute by adding an i That's it from my side, I'm off to baking these lovely treats now :D
@@emmyploeger512 my Oma said lekker often. They (Oma and Opa) also called me schat, or schatje. Those required some explaining to my Australian friends! They spoke English fluently but there were a few special Dutch words that got mixed in 🙂
@@moniquem783 lekker and lecker are the same word. One is Dutch, the other is German. My opa and oma also called me schatje, or laif wichtje. They were from Groningen and spoke Gronings 😀
My mum's Swiss, and she's making stuff from her childhood all the time, I'm a little surprised this hasn't come up yet, but there's every chance I could surprise my mum for her birthday, it looks _really_ nice, and (even though it'd be summer here) December seems like an appropriate month, too :P I've been taking note of so many videos from this channel so I can find them later and try them. Love to see these videos!
@@mrbarrylewis skiing in Zermatt years ago as a teen and been to Bern a few times too. I’d love to explore more but like you say it’s expensive and the hills and my wheelchair don’t really go together. I’ve just ordered some vegan honey to make this recipe though!
@@mrbarrylewis we used to buy it from Iceland when we did our shopping, but one year we couldn't find any so I decided to make it myself.. soooo easy to make, and so much tastier fresh! You should make some and do a side by side comparison with this!
Even before seeing this video, I was planning on making these cookies for this holiday season. So very glad to see this video! It really demystifies the recipe & process for me as I was wondering if the sugar and honey were truly enough to bind everything together.
My brother and his girlfriend were in Switzerland just a few weeks ago. Not sure if they tried Leckerli but they loved the place and are planning to go back, so I’ll make sure to recommend it if they do 😅
Hiya Barry thought I would update you on the Leckerli ..I made them..but never got the chance to photograph them they were all gone within half an hour everyone wants more so when I make them again I will take a pic as soon as they come out of the oven ..sorry about that x
I enjoy watching you cook and bake. I used to do a lot of cooking and baking, but now I have diabetes so I don't eat much of anything that has any flavour. Tried some diabetic baking with loaf and cookies, but like gluten free baking it was awful. So I live through you and your videos. It is very much like how I travel these days too, only on video. Thanks a bunch Barry.
Have you tried allulose as a sugar substitute? It's expensive so you wouldn't want to be using it every week, well I wouldn't anyway, but you could make yourself a guilt free treat now and then. It behaves just like sugar. Look it up. I'm making some curds as Christmas gifts so one batch will have allulose for the aunt that can't have sugar. It doesn't have the aftertaste issues that so many sweeteners have and works when the sugar in a recipe is part of the structure too. It's slightly less sweet than sugar but I find most recipes are too sweet anyway so I just do a 1:1 substitute and it comes out perfect. I do a sugar free ice cream with it and have used it in cakes etc.
They come from Basel. I have them in the less sugar version for diabetics. You pronounced "Läckerli" very well! They do sell the originals worldwide on the website...just saying...a comparison video maybe? Läckerli = something that is delicious.
Mr.Barry should try some polish gingerbread/cookies (pierniki) as it did originate from the country!! Some have a sweet jam filling some traditionally have a minty frost covering them!! My PL wife introduced them to me and I've not looked back since...well apart from crossing the road and everytime I check behind me and to be honest I look back everyday but there delicious okay!! Should definitely try some polish dishes...p.s your enthusiasm is infectious now I'm off to the kitchen👍🏻🤘🏻
Hey Barry, as always a banger recipe! So happy to see you had an amazing vacation with the family! Next time come to Vienna and we can raid the Naschmarkt and then get some Käsekrainer with a beer ;)
Those are one of my favourite Christmas cookies! I'm German though :D "Lecker" means yummy, delicious. Leckerli is the same as sweets, usually sweet baked goods. In my dialect it's most common as the word for dog treats :D
No cup measurements? "Can't we all just get along?" -Barry Lewis a few cookbooks ago when it didn't have gram measurements and only had cup measurements hahaha 🤣 Your girls are really growing up! Looks like a fun vacay 😊
3 ingredient Cordon blú: chicken breast, seasoned shake and bake, and one of those mozzarella snack sticks that comes pre wrapped with prosciutto. Bam.
looks delicious, though not entirely sure what candied peel or mixed spice are. I assume candied peel is citrus peel, but no clue on the mixed spice. All spice maybe? Totally different note: it'd be fun for you to do traditional gingerbread people and decorate them with the girls
Hi Barry, I love watching your videos, I enjoy watching you for many years, so thank you for making them😊. Recently I discovered burrata and I like it very much. Do you have a good recipe with burrata? 😇
Hey Barry have ever heard of "ThatDudeCanCook" he reminds me of an American version of you lol and he's also from the UK originally though he's a full blown chef. A collab would be awesome to see.
Correct me if I am wrong but don't they leave it to "mature" for 2 or 3 weeks before eating for it to really considered like what is found in Switzerland?
Love your work Barry and appreciate you trying out new styles Not such a fan of this exposition/voiceover it doesn’t feel as authentic as you talking about what you’re doing in the moment
With people revealing that Leckerli actually means Dog Treat, do you think this could be a sign that you should try some videos making dog friendly snacks and treats? At least then when you're cooking you don't have to worry about Boston staring at you because you know he can have the end product 😆
What is candied peel? I tried to Google it and am confused. Is it candied orange 🍊 peel? Could I used dried cherries 🍒 instead? I love cherries and almonds.
Hey yep, cherries could be used, it's like a peel of lemon and oranges in sugar, quite sweet but not bitter at all, could chop up some glace cherries as an option with a sweet edge still
Yes, it's candied orange peel, sometimes mixed with lemon but orange is much more popular. If you don't like citrus fruit, you can use candied or dried cherries instead, but you might want to soak the dried ones first so they're not too hard. For an extra treat use liquor of choice (vodka, whisky, kirsch) for soaking.
Barry, what is the difference between golden syrup and corn syrup? I can't find golden syrup where I live, but we have plenty of corn syrup, dark corn syrup, maple syrup, honey, and molasses. Which would be the best substitute for golden syrup in your opinion?
@@cggc9510 No they are not.Corn syrup is made from corn (the dark version may have molasses added) Golden syrup is made from Sugar cane and is a much richer syrup..
Please don't confiscate their Swiss army knives, teach them to use and look after them responsibly. They are great tools and should be treated as such but the girls shouldn't be scared of having them.

Glad you all liked our country so much! 😁🎉🇨🇭
Though I’ve never seen Läckerli so thick… 😅🤣
I saw the title and did a double take.
In Germany a "Leckerli" is the word for dog treat 🤣
lol I guess they are sort of treats in a way! I wish I knew that when filming the video lol
Thanks for sharing vacation pics- now all I want to do is hop on a train, eat leckerli and drink coffee while enjoying a beautiful mountainous view!
haha awesome, yeah it's a great place

We say and write lekker in dutch 😊
My grandma would always say "lecker" after having tea and baked goods lol. I think my family would absolutely love this recipe!
It was honestly so good, I had to eat some as I typed the recipe out earlier lol
@@mrbarrylewis Lekker in Dutch means nice or yummie btw 😃.
Your grandma was Dutch? Then she said lekker 😀

Switzerland looked amazing, Lekerli absolutely stonking.
Thanks it was good cheers and yeah this stuff is very addictive
Totally unrelated to the food, but I love the word "stonking" so much. Such a UKism and so good.
haha awesome, I don't know how many UK folks say it, but i've been saying it a while lol
@@mrbarrylewis one of my British coworkers laughed when I mentioned that. I guess it also can have a dirty meaning, too, heh.
I went to Switzerland a year ago. So glad you had a great time. It is a beautiful place.
An awesome place yeah, quite a lot of food history too!

Oh man I’ve had this stuff in Switzerland years ago and it was AMAZING. Never thought of making it myself!
Awesome, where did you visit?
@@mrbarrylewis skiing in Zermatt years ago as a teen and been to Bern a few times too. I’d love to explore more but like you say it’s expensive and the hills and my wheelchair don’t really go together. I’ve just ordered some vegan honey to make this recipe though!
I went to UK 🇬🇧 3 Years ago and really enjoyed it 😊.
Oh I’m from Switzerland 🇨🇭😊
So need to eat some Swiss Chocolate 🍫 😂
Just made the recipe however I rolled the dough thin for cookies and we love them! Cooked in 12 minutes till golden.
Looks similar to Lebkuchen. It's become a tradition for me yo make LOADS of Lebkuchen for Christmas in our house lol.
YES! I know that stuff, super tasty!
@@mrbarrylewis we used to buy it from Iceland when we did our shopping, but one year we couldn't find any so I decided to make it myself.. soooo easy to make, and so much tastier fresh! You should make some and do a side by side comparison with this!
This video made me laugh out loud a lot!! Proper old school Barry vid 👍
Amazing video, will definitely be using this recipe! Excellent work!
Cheers Chris

Great to see a new video! Glad you and the family had a great time. Loved the slide show and old skool feel in this one.
You have the same sloth oven gloves I just bought my wife for Christmas!!
My brother and his girlfriend were in Switzerland just a few weeks ago. Not sure if they tried Leckerli but they loved the place and are planning to go back, so I’ll make sure to recommend it if they do 😅
awesome, yeah it's a great place
Great video Barry did yous have a good time in Switzerland and look amazing train journey
Yeah was great thanks, really mixed bag of activities!
@@mrbarrylewis yeah I love to go Switzerland go on trains journeys and chocolates factory
"The stench of honey" and "almond fingernail bits" are some Shakespeare Sonnet 130 level descriptions.
Definitely going to try that I love gingerbread ..looks yummy
Thanks Barry x
Thanks Dianne, let me know how it goes, I loved it
Will do 👍

Nice, might try this around Xmas.
slight correction! lecker in standard german means delicious or tasty (and it's cognate with english *lick* too!)
cheers
Hello Barry, new here, love your vids and your humour , you have a lovely family , love cooking and trying out new stuff😄😄

"looks like... PVA glue!"
Course it does Barry, it's what we were all thinking mate 😂
Stumbled on this tasty treat about 20 years ago and I always get some in for Christmas because it's out of this world!!
Reminded me of a cookie we make every Christmas called pfifferkucken. The dough gets so stiff we also call it the broken spoon cookie.
Thank you Barry for sharing some of your holiday pictures it looked amazing, this bake is going to be amazing
Sounds like it would be great with tea or coffee.
Deffo, dunked 1 or 3 in a coffee today lol
You should making dried salt cod Salad it's so delicious but the cod needs like 2 days to soak to rehydrate
Leckerli ist mostly used for cat and dog treats in germany. And, yes lecker is yummy, tasty, stonkin...! ;)
That looks really yummy!
Barry mate …pleas tell me you didn’t miss the H.R. Giger museum in gruyere! It’s unbelievable :O
Was only there for a day, but Gruyeres was awesome
They come from Basel. I have them in the less sugar version for diabetics. You pronounced "Läckerli" very well! They do sell the originals worldwide on the website...just saying...a comparison video maybe? Läckerli = something that is delicious.
Awesome, I loved Basel when I popped there for the day
As I remember those from Läckerli House are only about 1/4" thick. They originated in Basel.
I'm munching on original "Basler Läckerli" right now. You better do a good job, Barry!
😂 lembra O Mundo de Beakman, fico confusa mesmo com as legendas. Experimentei hoje pela primeira vez e resolvi pesquisar. Muito obrigada
In Afrikaans (One of South Africa's languages) Lekker has a few colloquial meanings, but it's definition is delicious.
That looks and sounds so interesting!! this is going onto my to bake list!
glad you had a nice trip! this looks tasty

8:16 .....Yes? I'm sorry, I couldn't resist answering you there, as my name is Lee.....teehee. Looks delicious Barry. Lee :)
Good video as always 👍
Are you going to do any more "Giant size" videos? If so, how about a curly wurley?
Those are one of my favourite Christmas cookies! I'm German though :D "Lecker" means yummy, delicious. Leckerli is the same as sweets, usually sweet baked goods. In my dialect it's most common as the word for dog treats :D
Looks so yummy
No cup measurements?
"Can't we all just get along?" -Barry Lewis a few cookbooks ago when it didn't have gram measurements and only had cup measurements hahaha 🤣
Your girls are really growing up! Looks like a fun vacay 😊
As an OG….yes I enjoyed that😂😩! Even took a screenshot
is it the 4K or is just my eyes? Either way they look great!
This is 4k today yep, possibly a one-off lol
3 ingredient Cordon blú:
chicken breast, seasoned shake and bake, and one of those mozzarella snack sticks that comes pre wrapped with prosciutto.

I WANT THE HOMEMADE AFTERSHAVE VIDEO!!!🤣🤣

Those look amazing!!

You could do "joulutorttu" which means christmas tarte (but isn't) 2 ingredients only: puff pastry and plum jam
Looks delicious
thanks
@@mrbarrylewis I would’ve texted stonkin but I don’t know if you Brits allow us Yankees to use that lol
Looks delicious, what type of fruit candied peel did you you use?
Can you try to do Finnish Piirakkas too? 🤩
oooh nice idea
Delicious 😢😢❤❤❤
Barry, is there a nice healthy, recipe for a classic Flapjack?
Its the NA version of a granola bar?
Yum yum 🎉
Can you send in recipes on your website, have some recipes from Sweden ipI think your going to like
Correct me if I am wrong but don't they leave it to "mature" for 2 or 3 weeks before eating for it to really considered like what is found in Switzerland?
In your recipe, what does mixed spice have in it? Like pumpkin pie spice?
This is also similar to Italian panforte
old style video? like back in the days 😁😁
The editing is p different in this one. I like it, is just different
Yeeeeees, just a little mix up for a change
@@mrbarrylewis are you going to continue this format? I like just watching you cook, this felt more like a tutorial.
The stench of honey lol
Barry, you should make a giant sour gummy worm or gummy hamburger or gummy hotdog
Wonder if this would work without the almonds?... I can't have any nuts 😕
Barry, you've been told about your bee-sniffing thing already, got to let the poor things go without them being sniffed... :P
This kind of reminds me of Ukrainian honey cake. Spices and honey
Love your work Barry and appreciate you trying out new styles
Not such a fan of this exposition/voiceover it doesn’t feel as authentic as you talking about what you’re doing in the moment
Have you got a new camera? Looks better
Lecker lecker
What's in the mixed spices?
Just make sure you cut it before it cools down completely or it is really difficult to cut because it is so hard
With people revealing that Leckerli actually means Dog Treat, do you think this could be a sign that you should try some videos making dog friendly snacks and treats? At least then when you're cooking you don't have to worry about Boston staring at you because you know he can have the end product 😆

Looks amazing but why do you call it gingerbread? There doesnt seem to be any ginger in it...?
I feel like it needs more ginger?
❤️❤️❤️
I much prefer the cooking style you had recently with no voiceover and narrating while cooking. it felt less rehearsed and friendlier
Please don't confiscate their Swiss army knives, teach them to use and look after them responsibly. They are great tools and should be treated as such but the girls shouldn't be scared of having them.
I was somewhat disappointed that you didn't refer to the dough as: "Stubborn and Butch" - that was an M.V.K. trope that always made me laugh.
Lecker is tasty in german
New editing style?
Not my favourite playlist but looks cool. 1st lol.
I made this today yum posted a photo on your instagram message
