Ingredients

  • Leckerli
  • 3/4 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee or espresso
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped almonds
  • 1/4 cup chopped raisins
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons kirsch
  • Glaze
  • 3 or 4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon strongly brewed coffee or espresso

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a round 10-inch tart pan with parchment paper. A removable base is helpful. Butter the sides and dust with flour.
  2. 2
    Combine almonds, raisins, flour, baking soda and spices in a bowl.
  3. 3
    Heat and stir honey, sugars and espresso until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. 4
    Pour the warm honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Also add the 2 tablespoons of kirsch.
  5. 5
    Stir or knead the dough to form a ball. Then let it sit for about 30 minutes.
  6. 6
    Press into the tart pan and poke all over with a fork. Bake for 17 minutes.
  7. 7
    While still hot evenly spoon the glaze from the second part of the recipe on top. Then use a good serrated knife to cut the leckerli dough into wedges while it is still warm and easier to slice nicely!
  8. 8
    Store in a closed container for up to a month.
  9. 9
    Whisk together 3 tablespoons of sugar and the coffee. Add another tablespoon if the glaze seems very thin.
