Festive snack – just eat one and all you’ll think about is Christmas.

Zest and juice the lemons. Mix baking soda or baking powder with a little water. Mix the flour with the ground nuts. Cream the butter with sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add the salt, pepper, potash, lemon zest, lemon juice, and baking powder and stir in. Carefully fold in the flour and nut mixture. It should form a heavy, firm dough. Refrigerate the dough. After a few hours, it is ready to bake. Scoop out the dough with a teaspoon, place small heaps next to each other on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes at 175-180°C. Store the finished gingerbread in a dry container.
