Ingredients
Butter, to grease
2 eggs
200g cane sugar

Instructions
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced/400°F) and grease a baking tray with the butter.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. Dissolve the baker's ammonia in a little cold water and stir it into the egg mixture. Add the lemon zest, white pepper, cloves, cardamom, nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon.
Sprinkle the wholemeal flour, oatmeal and the candied lemon peel into the mixture, add the milk and knead well.
Roll out the dough approximately 1cm thick. Cut out circles about 3cm in diameter and place them on the baking tray. Bake in the middle of the oven for around 15 minutes. Remove from the baking tray and set aside to cool.
