Give him an edible house for Christmas---a gingerbread house

Overview

The origin of the gingerbread house that evolved from gingerbread comes from the story of the candy house in the forest in Grimm's fairy tale. Hansen and Gretel, a brother and sister, were left in the forest by their parents because their family was poor. Unexpectedly, they discovered a candy house in the forest when they were hungry. The roof was made of bread, the walls were made of biscuits, the windows were made of white icing, and all kinds of candies were hung on the outside of the roof and walls. After the gingerbread house was given a Christmas atmosphere, it spread widely and became a must-have Christmas snack. Christmas is just a few days away. Let’s make a beautiful gingerbread house. The small gingerbread house is so beautiful. It’s just a decoration in the house. How can I not eat it?

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 A large collection of all materials

   

2. 2 Add brown sugar and honey to hot milk and stir to melt

   

3. 3 Sift flour and baking soda, mix well, then mix with 4.5g ginger juice, 13g butter, 100g whole eggs, 25g icing sugar, 60g sugar to form a dough

   

4. 4 Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

   

5. 5 Take out the relaxed dough from the refrigerator and gently roll it into a 3-5 cm thick sheet. Place the pre-cut house model on the dough,

   

6. 6 Cut into shape (a hob is best). Prick a small hole in the dough sheet with a fork to allow air to escape and avoid puffing up.

   

7. 7 Just preheat the oven to 175 degrees for 15 minutes, then cool slightly and take it out to cool. At this time, you can make icing.... Ingredients for icing: half egg white, 150 grams of powdered sugar. Use a whisk to beat until wet peaks appear and the whisk feels heavy. Put the frosting into a piping bag and set aside.

   

8. 8 After all the models are baked and allowed to cool, assembly begins... When gluing, it is best to glue the front piece and the wall together, so you don't have to hold it with your hands because of the support. Let it solidify a little before gluing the back piece to the wall.

   

9. 9 Let it sit for 30 minutes before adding the roof. At this time, you need to hold it with your hands for about 10 minutes before loosening it.

   

10. 10 Next, glue on the small door, Christmas tree, chocolate doll, small snowman and other decorations. Finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar to create a snowy scene.
