from breakfast croissants

Buy day-old croissants from the bakery (cheaper!) and let them sit for a few days until they are hard. Then grate them finely (like breadcrumbs) using a standard household grater. Dissolve baking powder in the water. Place all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with the baking powder water. Spread approx. 40 g of the gingerbread mixture on each wafer (7 cm diameter). Moisten your fingers slightly if necessary. Bake in a preheated oven (top/bottom heat 200°C / fan 170°C) for approx. 15 minutes. Let cool on a rack and cover with a mixture of chocolate coating and cake icing. First, warm the cake icing and dissolve the chocolate coating in it. Decorate as desired. Note: They also taste good without candied lemon and candied orange peel.
