Combine sugar and eggs and stir until sugar is dissolved (10 to 15 min) and bubbles form. Add cinnamon, ground cloves and finely chopped candied lemon peel. Sift flour and salt of staghorn over it. Knead everything into a firm dough. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough in portions to 1 1/2 cm thick strands, from which you cut off 1 1/2 cm wide pieces, twist them into balls and place them a little bit apart on the baking sheets. Dry for 2 hours. Preheat electric oven to 175 °C, fan oven to 150 °C, gas oven to level 2 3. Bake for 15 minutes.
Glaze: sift powdered sugar. Mix with the juice of one lemon. Coat the nuts while they are still warm. Cool on a wire rack. Store in a tin can and keep for 2 to 3 weeks.
