Christmas Gingerbread House

Christmas Gingerbread House

1. Gingerbread ingredients: 500 grams of low-gluten flour, 100 grams of butter, 60 grams of water, 50 grams of brown sugar, 100 grams of powdered sugar, 70 grams of honey, 50 grams of eggs, a little ginger powder, a little cinnamon powder Surface icing: 200 grams powdered sugar ( Sift), 40 grams of egg white, 2 to 3 drops of fresh lemon juice. Bake: 175 degrees, about 12 minutes
Tips: Commercially sold brown sugar with sterilized eggs generally has larger particles and larger lumps. At this time, it is recommended to use a grinder to break the brown sugar into brown sugar powder before using it, and then use the broken brown sugar powder and butter. Put in a bowl

2. Melt the butter in water, mix the butter and brown sugar powder evenly

3. Add water, honey and stir well

4. Add eggs and all flours, knead into a smooth dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it stand for 1 hour

5. Take out the resting dough and use a rolling pin to roll it to a thickness of about 3 to 4 mm

6. Use a knife to carve the gingerbread dough into shapes according to the drawing of the gingerbread house. Don't forget the threshold, the structure of small places such as windows should also be done!
After making the biscuits, place them flat on the baking tray and let them relax for an hour, otherwise they will be easily deformed. The relaxation time must be enough

7. Place the biscuits on a tarp or oil paper, put them in the oven at 175 degrees, about 12 minutes, and let them cool. TIPS: There are big and small biscuits, so the time needs to be adjusted. Small pieces of biscuits will cook faster, and large pieces of biscuits will cook more slowly. Take out the small pieces of biscuits when they are cooked, and continue to bake the larger pieces

8. Make the icing below:
Manually beat the egg whites until thick foam

9. Sift in the powdered sugar in batches to avoid splashing of powdered sugar

10. Whipped evenly

11. Add lemon juice and continue whipping manually

12. Just hit it with a hook as shown in the figure; if you need a thinner icing, add it drop by drop, and a little water can dilute the icing; if you need a harder icing, you can continue to add the sifted frosting Powdered sugar

13. Let’s start assembling the gingerbread house! First, stick the main structure with a thicker icing, first glue the windows, and then assemble the whole

14. Then combine the side and front of the house

15. Finally, paste the roof and the chimney. The roof is inclined and easy to slip off. You must wait for the icing to dry before letting go

16. Let’s make the snow decoration, add a little bit of water to the remaining icing sugar to dilute

17. Brush the frosting on the roof with a brush

18. Finally, you can add some Christmas decorations, and the gingerbread house is complete
