Pfeffernüsse Spiced & Iced Cookies
Well, what can I say about these delightful cookies? I have been eating pfeffernüsse and lebkuchen cookies since I was a wee one. My heritage is 3/4 German (you'd never know it to hear me stumble through some of these words- plus kind of mispronouncing pfeffernüsse) but what can I say? These spiced and iced cookies are remarkably easy, and look at how cute they are! Never buy store bought again!
*Recipe is from a lovely blog called The Daring Gourmet. I searched for the perfect recipe, and I think I found it!
Pfeffernüße Pfeffernuss Pfeffernüsse
Offenbacher Pfeffernüsse are a special treat and were already very popular in Goethe's time. These are traditional German spice cookies made for the Christmas holiday season. My friend is from Berlin and showed me how to make these special treats.
Pfeffernüße without almonds
A pinch is usually measured on the tip of a butter knife in German recipes (in recipes referred to as Messerspitze or Msp = tip of a knife)
Ingredients for dough
3 eggs
70 g sugar (optional)
150 g honey or beet syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice (to activate the natron)
1 pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large pinch of ginger
1 large pinch of cardamon
1 pinch cloves
1 pinch allspice
( I have a premade mix, so we’ll be using that)
1 large pinch pepper
75-100 g candied lemon and/or orange peel (minced)
350 g flour (sift in)
120 g fine bread crumbs
25 g natron or baking soda
1-2 tablespoons milk, if needed
Ingredients for the glaze
150 g powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons water, lemon juice or other fluid (spiced cider for our baking)
1 egg white (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 F
Preparation
- Beat eggs with sugar, beet syrup, lemon juice, ginger and spices until foamy.
* Mix flour with baking soda, sift into the whet mix and knead it into a dough with crumbs and minced peel.
* (If the dough is too dry add a tablespoon milk, too whet, more flour)
- Roll the dough into little balls or use a small disher, press slightly flat, and place them on a parchment covered baking sheet.
Put sheet on the middle rack in the oven.
Baking time: approx.10 - 12 minutes
Glaze
Whip the glaze ingredients into a thick glaze and brush onto the warm cookies. Place them onto a drying rack.
Let cool and dry completely before storing in cookie tins.
Don’t eat right away or the cookies will taste harsh and bitter.
Let mature in their tin for at least 3 days, a week is better.
