For my daughter, because of the "arrival" of the mysterious husband in the story and the special and favorite gift at Christmas, I look forward to it every time. Mysterious, special, surprise, and really want to satisfy her, so every Christmas is the most troublesome day for me.

At the beginning of the month, I started planning to make her a beautiful gingerbread house full of candies. I made this gingerbread house because of my daughter's love for her own small house, and the other because of her fascination with sweets. I think everyone wants to have a space of their own when she was a child. When she was one and a half years old, we made her a small "apartment" of her own with a waste paper box. At that time, the little girl would hide in her own house for us, so that you could not find it; she would suddenly open the small window and say to me: Mom, I am here. "I will put the things I like there; if there are children in the family, it will be a good toy for everyone to fight for each other. Until now, she is six years old and still reluctant to throw it away. My daughter likes to eat sweets, but It’s not good to eat too much sugar, and because of food safety issues, we have tight control over snacks, drinks and candies. Perhaps the more unavailable things, the better, so she has always been obsessed with candies. In some special cases In the days when I will treat candy as an open day for her, let her eat as much as possible. So when she sees this small house full of candy on Christmas morning, how ecstatic she will be."

Candy Gingerbread House

1. Butter melts into liquid in water.

2. Add brown sugar and stir well.

3. After cooling, add eggs, milk and honey.

4. Stir well

5. Sift in a mixture of low powder, cinnamon powder, and ginger powder. (Ginger powder and cinnamon powder can be added according to your own taste. I don't add much, because I am afraid that children will not like the taste.)

6. Use a spatula to mix into a uniform dough. Don't over-mix

7. Divide into three portions, wrap them in a fresh-keeping bag, press flat, and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

8. The refrigerated dough is rolled into a 3--5 mm thick crust with the help of plastic wrap.

9. Use a gingerbread house mold to press out the shape.

10. Move to the baking tray and pierce a small hole with a fork (forgot to shoot) to prevent bubbling and arching. Put it in the preheated oven, the middle layer is 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

11. Roll out the last remaining dough into a large dough piece and bake it.

12. Put the egg whites in a water-free and oil-free basin, add lemon juice to make a coarse foam, add icing sugar in portions and beat evenly.

13. Whip until the meringue frosting is sticky and will not drip easily when hung on the whisk

14. Use the stickiness of the frosting to glue the parts except the roof together, and then wait for it to dry. (I used a fan to blow, the roof glued the next day)

15. After drying, put all kinds of sugar in the house.

16. Then glue the roof together with icing sugar, and glue all kinds of decorative sugar. (Originally, there was a chimney, which felt really sticky, so I omitted it.)
