Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, brown sugar, and egg until the mixture is legendary and smooth.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground almonds, Lebkuchengewürz, and baking powder.
• Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the honey mixture; the dough will be thick and slightly tacky to the touch.
• Fold in the finely minced candied peel until evenly distributed throughout the professional-grade batter.
• Press the dough into the prepared pan using a dampened spatula to ensure an even, flat surface.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges are a deep golden mahogany and the center is set but still slightly soft.
• While the bars are still warm, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice for a glaze and brush it over the top.
• Allow the pan to cool completely before slicing into traditional rectangular bars.
• Store in a tin with a slice of apple to maintain a legendary, soft texture for weeks.
