Lebkuchen is the bomb. We used to get them as an incredibly rare xmas treat as a child and I was over 40 before I realised it was possible to make them yourself. Smile

I like sesame seeds too but I am sure you know how DC can be... I would have to go for plain.

You don't have to put the same topping on all of them. Sesame some of them and that will ensure you get your fair share.Grin

Nurnberger Lebkuchen is one of our families all time Christmas treats. That and rumballs!

Off to google "lebkuchen"...

(I have learnt/discovered so much on this board xx)

Wow Tartrazine that sounds delicious!

Boiling and dredging prior to baking, sounds like it might take some practise to get them just right!

Winesalot · 19/12/2020 23:16

These are good hints. Thanks.

ArabellaScott · 19/12/2020 23:06

It's been a while since I made it - I think trad recipes call for the dough to be left for a day or two before baking. Which suits me, as a lazy cook.

(She will be making some for us tomorrow; she lives alone and is our bubble, and lucky us is what I say because she is an ace cook.)

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 19/12/2020 22:58

Friend says, wet hands when shaping dough and line the bluddy baking trays.

@ArabellaScott

Well, seeing as xmas is cancelled, I'm going to make lebkuchen.
We are going to attempt this in the coming week. Any hints please?

@DaisiesandButtercups

My DC are crazy for bagels but I have never tried baking my own.

Did they turn out well Tartrazine?

Daisies, they turned out very well if I do say so myself. I like lots of sesame seeds so I gave 'em a good dredge between the boiling and baking stages, and they were gratifyingly toasty & nutty as a result.

What kind of person does that, or has the time for it? Women don't tend to do this stuff, to turn up on 'men's rights' forums to lecture the men. Men get a kick out of it and boast about it.

YY. Again it's quite the tell. Not just the gender identity crew either, MRAs and random sad blokes generally.

Winesalot · 19/12/2020 21:13

They show us exactly who they are again and again. They cannot see what gives them away.

CoffeeTeaChocolate · 19/12/2020 21:09

The worst thing is, most men wouldn’t do that. The majority of men wouldn’t impose on women’s spaces, try to participate in women’s sports or even dream of trying to get into women’s changing rooms. The men who try to do that are exactly the ones we need to keep out. Regardless of how they identify.

Thelnebriati · 19/12/2020 21:07

I'm surprised they haven't found it yet, obviously I'm not a medical expert but if I was I'd tell them to look for the brightest blue area in the blue brains.

notyourhandmaid · 19/12/2020 21:01

General point:

I am so sick of a certain kind of man hanging out in a forum explicitly focused on women's rights just to be horrible to women.

Snowballs! Omg yes pleasemy parents didn’t think they were alcoholic and used to give them to me when I was a wee sprog. Yum.

Bold fail. Hmm

I definitely suffer from FOMO when I see a new acronym I don't understand.
