AUTHENTIC GERMAN LEBKUCHEN
This recipe is over 150 years old and has been baked by my family for many generations for Christmas. They are much easier to make than other lebkuchen and ingredients have been updated to what's available now. They are made with almond flour, hence are gluten free and also contain no dairy.

CHOCOLATE LEBKUCHEN
This recipe comes from Christmas, 1961. These bars have a light, tart frosting. This dough needs to ripen for a couple of days, but it's worth it.

- Mix all the dry ingredients: flour, almonds, baking powder, baking soda and the spices in a large bowl. Heat up the butter with the honey until it melts, let it cool a little and pour over the dry ingredients. Mix well into a sticky dough. Chill for at least an hour in the fridge.
- Turn out the dough onto a generously floured surface, dust with more flour and roll out to about 5mm thickness. Dot the jam or marmalade on the bottom half of the pastry, at least 6-7cm apart. Gently fold the top half over the bottom half and cut around the jam mounds with a pastry cutter. Make sure the edges are well sealed and place the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment.
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4. Bake the Lebkuchen for 15 minutes and leave to cool still on the parchment sheets on a wire rack.
- Tempering chocolate is not essential but it ensures better gloss, crispiness and easier coating. The simple method is to melt two thirds of the amount over a bain-marie (in a bowl set over a pan with simmering water); add the remaining third and stir continuously until it cools down to barely lukewarm (31C for dark, 27C for white); about 10 minutes. The chocolate will stay liquid long enough to dip all the Lebkuchen.
