Baking gingerbread in the oven
- Place a heaped teaspoon of Lebkuchen dough onto each of the Christmas wafers and spread by using your fingers.
- Place the Lebkuchen on a baking tin and bake for approx. 12 minutes at 180° C until lightly brown, but not fully baked.
UNser TIPP
The Lebkuchen become even more tasty after a rest of some days. They will last for a long time, if kept in a tin box with a slice of apple (to be removed after a couple of days). If they get to dry after some weeks, simply add another slice of apple to remoist them.
