Directions

1
Bring honey and sugar to the boil in a pot. Stir in cloves and nutmeg, remove the pot from the heat. Let the mixture cool down a little. Stir almonds, lemon peel, candied orange peel, candied lemon peel and 5 tablespoons of kirsch one after the other into the warm honey mixture. Mix flour and baking powder and work into the honey mixture with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Roll out the dough on a greased baking tray to a thickness of approx. 1 cm, cover and refrigerate for approx. 2 hours. Bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for approx. 15 minutes. In the meantime, stir icing sugar into 1 1/2 tablespoons of kirsch until smooth. Take out the pastry and glaze it immediately. Cut off hard edges. Cut the cake in half. Cut one half into 6 pieces (approx. 6x14 cm), the second into 12 pieces (approx. 5x7 cm). Let the cake cool down. In the meantime, mix 1 teaspoon of water and icing sugar. Spread the undersides of the wafers with this "glue" and stick it on the pastry

Important: The biscuits must be stored for a longer period of time so that they become soft (otherwise you bite your teeth out). If you store them with 1/2 apple, it is faster
