Not Perfect But It is The Only Dream---christmas Gingerbread House
1.
First of all, we have to design the drawings in advance.
2.
Then melt the butter at room temperature and add brown sugar and powdered sugar to fluff it.
3.
Then add the eggs and stir well.
4.
Then pour the milk and honey and stir well.
5.
Then sift in the flour.
6.
Knead it into a smooth dough, cover it with a safety mold, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
7.
When the dough is proofed, wrap the cutting board and rolling pin in plastic wrap.
8.
Take a piece of the dough that has been proofed and roll it into a thin sheet. I am a bit thick this time.
9.
Then cut into the required graphics according to the drawings.
10.
Put some holes in the baking tray with a fork, and then preheat the oven for 3 minutes and bake for about 10 minutes.
11.
The other dough is made into other shapes and baked and allowed to cool.
12.
Until all the dough is formed into graphics and then bake. The remaining noodles are made into gingerbread man and Christmas tree cookies.
13.
Finally, a large rectangular base is baked. I was wrong about this, it's better to make the base first.
14.
All are baked and let cool completely, then put qq candy into the window, add it for half a minute, and it becomes a transparent window.
15.
Then use a whisk to beat the egg whites, add the powdered sugar in 2 times, add vinegar, and beat until it becomes frothy.
16.
Then put the icing sugar in the piping bag, and cover the rest with plastic wrap.
17.
Ready to decorate sugar.
18.
Take some juice and make it yellow, I don’t buy any coloring here. But in fact, no one can bear to eat it. It's better to buy pigments to make them look better.
19.
Then first dip the base with icing sugar, and then let it sit for 1-2 hours.
20.
When the base is dry, gradually put on the roof.
21.
Then put it on the roof and let it dry for 1-2 hours. Then decorate the roof with icing and star candy.
Tips:
1. Do not knead the noodles and noodles of the gingerbread house repeatedly.
2. The wake-up time should not be too long, otherwise it will be too soft and the shape will not look good. Mine is just a bit thick after the time has passed.
3. The icing is not ideal for the first time. In fact, it can be divided into two times. The first time the base and the upper roof can be slightly thicker. For decoration
The icing sugar is freshly used, and the powdered sugar is slightly less, softer, which is good for decoration. Mine is thicker and the decoration is not good.
4. For the decoration on the biscuits to look good, it is better to decorate and glue them first.
5. Be sure to dip the base and dry it in the upper shed. The first time I did it, it collapsed and the windows were hung up.
6. If it doesn't matter if the smaller one is small, my small one will be easy to do. If the big one is not dry enough, it will not be able to support it in the shed.
