Ingredients:
1 pound dark brown sugar
3 whole eggs and yolks of 3 more
1/4 pound citron finely shaved on a “slaw-cutter”
1/2 pound English walnut meats (chopped fine)
1 quart flour sifted with 2 teaspoonfuls of baking powder
ICING:
2 cups of sugar
1/2 cup of water
Preparation:
- Mix well together. Do not roll thin like ginger snaps, but about a half inch thick. Cut out about size of a large coffee cup.
- Bake in a moderate oven and when cold ice the cakes with the following
ICING: Boil 2 cups of sugar and 1/2 cup of water seven minutes. Pour over the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs; ice the cakes. Place cakes in a tin box when icing has become cold and these will keep quite a long time. I have eaten high-priced, imported Lebkuchen no better than those made from this recipe.
