It's Dec. 6th, St. Nicholas!
We got the traditional nuts, mandarins and gingerbread that was shared with neighborhood loli. Now it's time to make my own gingerbread. It will take a few days, pics will follow.

I dunno if you can get oblates in Asia but you could make soft gingerbread. Mine is harder so you can use it with cookie cutter forms but the soft one that is placed on oblates is even better!
Elisenlebkuchen
You'll need:
6 eggs
180 g sugar
2 ks honey
1 ts cinnamon
1 ts vanilla
1 ts gingerbread spice
1 kt salt
250 g ground almonds
250 g ground hazel nuts
200 g candied orange peel
200 g candied lemon peel
200 g couverture chocolate
50 x oblates, 7 - 9 cm diam.
You can use fresh or candied citrus peel, needs to be grouund in a mixer. There's also ready-made gingerbread spice. If you can't get it mix pimenta, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, anis and fennel.
Throw eggs, sugar and honey in a mixer and mix for 5min. slowly mix in the rest until you receive a tough paste. Smear a flat layer of about 1cm thickness on the oblates and bake them at 140°C for 20min. Take them out and after they're half-cooled, use the couverture to coat them with chocolate. You can also use any other coating like white chocolate or sugar glazing.
That's it!
The recipe makes 30-50 pieces so you may wanna halve everything. Good luck!
