A real Elise

Elisen are the queens among the Lebkuchen, because not everyone is allowed to adorn themselves with this designation. Elisen must have an oilseed content of at least 25%, so it is required by the law. The noble oilseeds include almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts and as we all know, these are not cheap nuts! Therefore Elisen are also a bit more expensive than "normal Lebkuchen". In addition, in an Elisen belongs much less flour or starch (< 10%). In combination with a secret spice mixture and the fine taste of marzipan and candied lemon peel, the Elise finally unfolds its full juicy splendor. For all fairy tale fans, moreover, the legend to the name of the Elise is a heart recommendation.

The family of wafer Lebkuchen

Elisen-Lebkuchen, white Lebkuchen, walnut Lebkuchen, macaroon Lebkuchen and hazelnut Lebkuchen make up the group of wafer Lebkuchen. Besides the characteristic round wafer, they are characterized by their special dough. The mixture of nuts, almonds, marzipan, sugar, egg whites or eggs, candied orange peel and lemon peel and a small amount of flour results in a soft, sticky dough that can be portioned smoothly onto the wafers. To all history buffs, we've rounded up more fun facts about the history of the wafer Lebkuchen which is only 100 years old.
