Gingerbread from Lucerne, the story:
There has always been a place for gingerbread on market stalls and at
fairs. It was customary for a young man to offer his sweetheart a
gingerbread cake, which she would acceptwith delight. Since the Middle
Ages, Lucerne has seen the creation of a large number of such delicacies
influenced by its governors and merchants.
The recipe:
Add the lemon juice to the cream and leave for a few minutes. Mix together
the cream, pear puree sugar, mixed spices and bicarbonate of soda. Add the
flour. Mix until well blended and then add the nuts.
Fill a flan ring (24 cm diameter, 6 cm high) and bake in the oven for 50
minutes at 190 oC.
Serve cold.
