1 egg
2 T cooking oil

Spread into a greased 15X10 baking pan.  Bake at 350F 15-20 min or until done.  Immediately score in squares with a sharp knife. Brush on lemon glaze.

Gotta love Grandma B.  I'm assuming that you must mix the ingredients before you put them in the greased pan.  I'm thinking order doesn't matter much:)

Lebkuchen is a traditional German Christmas cookie somewhat like a gingerbread cookie.
