[Sca-cooks] Lebkuchen

[Olwen the Odd]

>I used Sabina's Lebkuchen recipe for an A&S entry a couple of months ago.  
>I
>started with the small amount of flour and had no luck.  I added more flour
>to get the honey mix just to the point that I could handle it.
>Then covered my hands in flour, dropped a spoonful in my hand and worked in
>the flour as I rolled it out on a heavily floured board.
>
>I did get a cookie shape - not cake like by any means.  More cracker like.
>The later roll outs did hold their shape better due to more flour, but I
>think the texture of the early roll outs was better.
>
>Is it possible that her recipes just assumed that you would know to add a
>lot of extra flour in the roll out process?

>(I have process pictures of this project if anyone is interested)
