According to legend, about 600 years ago, during the Crusades, "ginger" was an expensive imported spice, so it was only used in important festivals such as Christmas and Easter. Adding ginger to cakes and biscuits can make the taste of cakes and biscuits more special and has the function of fighting off the cold. Over time, gingerbread has become a snack associated with Christmas.
In addition to the Christmas tree that you can see at Christmas, let's also make a Christmas gingerbread house that you can eat with your children.

Tips:

1. Regarding the frame of the house: the four-sided wall cake of the house should be slightly thicker, so as to support the frosting added at the back and not easily collapse.
2. Regarding the model: We did not buy a model for the gingerbread house we made. Use cardboard or hard transparent plastic to cut out the size of the front and rear walls, the left wall and the roof, and then cut the butter buns by yourself. Cut out each part of the model size.
3. Regarding the frosting: the proportion should be made according to the formula, if it is too thin, it will not be easy to shape and look good.
4. Regarding drying: For each bonding and icing process, you must wait until the previous one is completely dried before proceeding to the next step. If it is air-dried naturally, it will take at least one hour. You can use a fan to accelerate the drying.
5. Other decorations: The remaining butter biscuit bottom can also be matched with icing, and then make a few snowflakes and Christmas trees. These icing biscuits can be used for decoration. Christmas atmosphere is very good
6. About snowing: When putting the finished product, put the powdered sugar in a sieve and sift it down. It is as beautiful as snowing~
