Women are born romantics, no matter how old they are, there will always be some dreams of their own in a certain corner of their hearts. After having a child, a woman will present the unfulfilled dreams one by one in front of the child, watching the child cheer, just like her childhood self. When I was young, Christmas was not as widespread as it is now in China, but the colorful dreams of cartoons have always been with me.

Christmas in the West always gives people the illusion of talking to the world. Christmas gingerbread house is one of the colorful cartoons. It can be used as a Christmas gift for my son and fulfill my childhood dreams. Entering December, it will soon be the Christmas that the children are looking forward to,

During my baking time, my husband and son took turns to steal the biscuits I baked, but they couldn’t get it. They had to knead the third box of premix and bake a small basket of biscuits in a Christmas cartoon mold. Even so, when assembling the next morning, only one of the four chimneys remained. There was no way, I had to make temporary workarounds and replace the chimneys with two red strawberry candies.

Moreover, the two bad guys took pleasure in teasing me. When they came to steal the cookies, they deliberately demonstrated in front of you, so that you could drive them out. And the son held the floor and kept shouting to the dog: "Niuniu Niuniu, give you a piece of gingerbread!" The fool Niuniu didn't understand what her son shouted, so she knew that the little master who followed it jumped up and down. However, the whole process of baking and assembling is a very enjoyable process, and the warm family atmosphere is fully manifested at this moment.

In addition to a gingerbread house, there was also a small basket of gingerbread. I gave a dozen neighbors’ girls. My son went to English class on weekends and asked him to take a dozen of them, and a dozen of them were left for the two of them to eat. . Looking at the beautiful gingerbread house, my son was very excited and asked me, mother, will this gingerbread house become moldy in two days. I said that all the noodles are made with honey. The honey itself is antiseptic. Within a month This gingerbread house is not moldy. My son said it's great, I can't bear to eat it so beautiful, it would be a pity if it gets moldy!

Ingredients

2 boxes Gingerbread Mix
2 pcs Egg
170g Honey
250g Powdered Sugar
2 pcs Egg White

Christmas Gingerbread House

1. The drawing of the gingerbread house was found on the Internet. The original drawing is still more complicated. I improved it a bit, so it is very simple. After putting it together, it feels that the floor 20*20 is a bit small. It might be better if the design is 20*30. A larger floor will give us more room to play in the final decoration process. Cut out the template with cardboard according to the size in advance.

2. Mix all the ingredients and knead into a dough. Note: As noted on the instructions, knead the dough a week in advance and refrigerate it at low temperature to make the gingerbread quality better. Unfortunately, when I saw this sentence, it was only two days before the weekend, but I quickly kneaded the dough and divided it into two pieces.

3. The kneaded dough is put back in the bag containing the flour, then stuffed into the box, and placed in the refrigerator compartment.

4. Two days later, on Saturday afternoon, I took the dough out of the refrigerator, and it was ready to roll out into a thin pancake with a thickness of 0.3-0.4cm.

5. Cut the pancakes according to the drawings drawn in advance. In this step, you need to be careful. When you draw a knife or two, apply a little oil on the knife, or the knife will pull your pancakes out of shape.

6. Cut out the dough, pierce a hole with a fork, and make it for about 20 minutes, brush with egg water, put it in the oven, and heat up and down at 170 degrees for 20 minutes. The egg liquid can be brushed or not, and a little bit is used to make the baked biscuits shiny. This is the floor of the entire Christmas bakery.

7. This is the front wall panel of the house and some Christmas trees, Christmas moon

8. Add the icing sugar to the egg white three times, beat until it is hard, do not drop when you lift the whisk, and the traces in the basin will not disappear. Serve as icing sugar. (Additionally, powdered sugar cannot be used as much. The gingerbread house I made should have 150 grams of powdered sugar and one egg white is enough. I have about two-thirds left.)

9. Put the frosting in the piping bag. The entire assembly and bonding process relies on it.

10. Since both hands are all sticky icing, I didn’t take a picture during the assembling process, but it’s not difficult. I just glue the baked wallboards together with icing, and decorate them completely by my own imagination. But in the process of gluing, it is best to find someone to beat you. My son is the one who beats you. At first, when the frosting was not completely solidified, he helped me hold it down to prevent the wall panels from collapsing. After everything is decorated, sprinkle with a thin layer of powdered sugar, it looks like a snowy Christmas. Just upload the finished product picture. I feel so beautiful, so I took a lot of finished pictures, haha!

Tips:
Making a gingerbread house requires patience and care. The more attentive people do, the better. I usually scrabble, which shows that there is not enough detail here!
