    Line three baking trays with baking paper. Finely chop candied orange peel and candied lemon peel. Mix flour, rye flour, spices, candied orange peel and candied lemon peel. Heat honey in a pot, but do not boil. Let it cool down for about 5 minutes and add it to the flour mixture.

    Knead everything well with the dough hook of the hand mixer and let it cool down.

    Dissolve the salt of the hartshorn in 1 tablespoon of cold water. Knead the sugar and 100 g of crumble candy into the dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Add egg yolk, potash and ammonium bicarbonate and knead as well.

    At the end knead the dough briefly with your hands.

    Dust the dough with a little flour and roll out on cling film to form a rectangle (approx. 40 x 42 cm). Cut into small rectangles (approx. 3 x 10 cm) and place on the baking trays. Prick several times with a fork and brush with milk.

    Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/circulating air: 150 °C/gas: level 2) for about 12 minutes. Pull the baking paper from the baking tray and let it cool down.
