I was stationed in Germany in the 1970s, and *loved* the incredible Christmas traditions there, of which this was one. I doubled this recipe, and the yield was exactly 24 formed on 70mm backoblaten. I made the gingerbread powder, and I used my own candied fruit peel. This Elisenlebkuchen is incredible. There is *nothing* like this in the US, unless somebody brought it over! Also, this is *very* expensive to make, in late November of 2022...about 60USD for 24...with the price of the nuts just crazy! But in the end, there is nothing like it! It is delicious and easy to replicate an important German tradition! Danke!

Our oma made us gingerbread men (persons?) when we were young. They were wondeful, and decorating them was lots of fun. But when we became teenagers, some of our gingerbread men decorations became very crazy. God bless our oma. The things she put up with from her silly grandchildren.

I spent from the age of 2 years old to about 13 ( so basically I grew up there) in Nuremberg and then my husband was stationed in Schweinfurt. It was his first time and we had arrived in December which was perfect, so the very first thing I did was take him down to the Marktplatz and started looking for the lebkuchen. He however wanted something warm and so he bought a little cobalt mug of glühwein. At the time my boys were still in a stroller so i took full advantage of their youth and visited the gummi shop often and of course had to visit the bakery and meat market to make sure everyone experienced a little of everything . My personal absolute favorite dish is Rouladen and Kartoffelkloesse ( potato dumplings). I miss the fresh smell you are hit with when you go to the marktplatz and the one site I used to order import from is no longer, so this channel is a game changer.

I was very pleased to get your spice recipe and your video production is excellent. Thank you for making the videos. I do not read German and have wanted an english language version of the recipes.

Hi Syble, I'm sorry to read that you are having this trouble. I've looked into it and while it works perfectly fine on my computer, it indeed doesn't work on my iphone or ipad. This might be a new problem since you are the first to tell me or nobody said anything. I have contacted the software company that I pay for this recipe plugin but their answer might take some days and I guess you want to bake NOW. Please use the contact form mygerman.recipes/contact/ and shoot me a short message, so I have your email address (it won't be visible to anybody else then) and I will send you the recipes you need with the US units. If you have a computer, you can also print it from there since the problem seems to only occur on mobile devices. Best, Barbara
