The house smells like heaven when these are in the oven. Make them in advance: they get better in a month and keep for three months! So good with tea. And they have almost no fat!
Yield: about 2 dozen, depending on how you cut them.
2.5 cups sifted flour
2/3 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1 cup honey
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. whiskey
1 extra-large egg, beaten
Milk frosting: confectioner's sugar and milk
Preheat oven to 375F. Butter an 11 x 17" rimmed pan. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, cloves, cinnamon, almonds; set aside.
Heat in microwave or over low heat: honey, sugar and whiskey until sugar is dissolved. Cool a bit. Beat in egg. Add to flour mixture and mix well.
Spread batter onto prepared pan. Bake ~15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and they are light brown. Remove from over and place on wire rack.
While still hot, spread frosting onto the top of the Lebkuchen. Let cool. Cut into bars & remove from pan. Store to mellow.
