coriander when I made this). Pre-ground cardamom is utterly horrible, though.
* There has been some confusion regarding the teaspoon measurements, since they can be
done using the seeds or pre-ground spices, resulting in differing amounts of actual
- spice. If I remember correctly, I originally measured cloves, allspice, cardamom,

- for instance, since the allspice seeds are fairly large, I just filled the teaspoon
- and had them go a bit over the top. I measured cinnamon, ginger, orange zest, lemon
- zest, coriander, nutmeg, and mace as powder, although there shouldn't be much of a
- difference for the coriander. One important detail is that I used freshly ground

* It probably is better to just add orange and/or lemon zest when making the Lebkuchen,
but it's easier to put it directly into the spice. Honestly, this spice can be
changed a lot and still called Lebkuchen spice - back in the day, everyone had their
own special mixture. Just follow your heart.
* On second thought, don't, that's what killed Romeo and Juliet.

+#### Seasoning Salt for French Fries or Fried Potatoes

+[Seasoning Salt](images/seasoning_salt.jpg)
+
+- Ingredients
+ + 1 medium onion (~80g, but it doesn't have to be exact)
+ + 4 Tbsp salt
+ + 3 Tbsp paprika
+ + 1/4 tsp black pepper
+ + ~1 tsp (2g) mace
+ * I only have whole, dried mace, so I don't know exactly how
+ much volume it would have as powder. I just used a teaspoon
+ filled with small pieces of mace, but it probably doesn't
+ matter too much anyways.
+ ([Image](images/seasoning_salt_mace.jpg))
+- Instructions
+ + Cut onion into small pieces and place in frying pan without oil.
+ ([Image](images/seasoning_salt_onions_raw.jpg))
+ + Fry onion on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, occasionally turning
+ the pieces, then leave on the hot (but turned off) stove until
+ cool in order to dry the onion pieces. If a gas stove is used,
+ it may be necessary to keep a very small flame on since no
+ further heat comes after it is turned off.
+ ([Image](images/seasoning_salt_onions_dried.jpg))
+ * It may be necessary to increase the time depending on
+ various factors.
+ * The onion pieces may get fairly dark brown, but they
+ shouldn't actually get burnt unless the heat is too high
+ (in the image, they may have gotten a bit too dark
+ because I accidentally had the stove too hot).
+ * It's probably possible to dry the onions using an oven as
+ well, but I just did it with a frying pan and haven't
+ experimented with other methods.
+ + Grind dried onion pieces, paprika, pepper, and mace together in
+ a spice or coffee grinder.
+ * It might be a good idea to grind the onions alone and leave
+ the powder to dry for a while since the onion pieces often
+ will not be perfectly dry. I haven't experimented with this
+ yet, though.
+ + Add salt and grind for a few more seconds to mix it properly and
+ make the salt a bit more fine-grained (the salt I get here is
+ relatively fine-grained, but I still found it to be a bit coarse
+ for my taste).
+ + Note: Even though this seasoning salt is "officially" meant for
+ french fries, you can dump it on a lot of other things as well.
