- Ingredients
   + 2 eggs
   + 50g sugar
   + 125g honey
   + 4-5 tsp Lebkuchen spice
   + 200g ground almonds
   + 200g ground hazelnuts
   + 50g candied lemon peel
   + 50g candied orange peel
   + 3/8 tsp Hirschhornsalz
   + 1/4 tsp salt
- Instructions
   + Mix almonds, hazelnuts, spice, and Hirschhornsalz together and set aside
   + Beat eggs, sugar, and salt until the mixture is fluffy
   + Add honey, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel and mix well
       * Note: you're not supposed to mix it too much to preserve the fluff, but sometimes it's
               quite difficult to get the honey and candied peels mixed properly otherwise
   + Mix in nut mixture
   + Create patties about 7cm in diameter and 0.5-1cm thick on a tray
       * Note: it is easiest to form them properly with wet fingers
   + Leave on tray for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight)
   + Bake at 150 C for 20-25 minutes, until they are light brown
       * Warning: watch them carefully, they burn quite easily
   + Glaze with chocolate or other glazing
   + Notes
       * Usually, these are made on top of "Backoblaten" (thin wafer papers for baking), but
         I am not a huge fan of those
