Elisen from the Nuremberg metropolitan region
No Christmas without Lebkuchen! Are you looking for delicious, juicy Elisen, made by the rules of traditional craftsmanship? Then you’ve just found what you where looking for: At Pfeffer & Frost you we produce juicy vegan Elisen in our Franconian family bakery near Nuremberg. Made with high-quality ingredients and a secret blend of spices that make our Elisen irresistible.
A real Elisen
Elisen are the queens of Lebkuchen. By definition Elisen must contain at least 25% oilseeds. The precious oilseeds include almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts and as we all know, these aren’t cheap nuts! This is why Elisen are a little more expensive than “normal Lebkuchen”. In addition, an Elisen contains much less flour or starch (< 10%). In combination with a secret spice mix and the fine taste of marzipan and candied lemon peel, the Elise finally unfolds its full juicy splendor.
For all fairy tale fans, the legend behind Elise’s name is also a heartfelt recommendation.
The Oblatenlebkuchen family
Elisenlebkuchen, white Lebkuchen, walnut, macaroon and hazelnut Lebkuchen all belong to the group of wafer Lebkuchen. In addition to the characteristic round wafer, they are characterized by their special dough. The mixture of nuts, almonds, marzipan, sugar, egg whites or eggs, candied orange and candied lemon peel and a small amount of flour results in a soft, sticky dough that can be easily portioned onto the wafers. For all history freaks, we have put together even more fun facts about the history of wafer gingerbread, which is only 100 years old.
