Gingerbread House

Category: Pastries / Bread / Cake

 

 

Preparation:

  1. Put the honey, sugar, salt and butter into a mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until foamy.

  2. Add and mix in the egg, cinnamon and almond flavouring. Mix the flour and baking powder and add 2/3 to the dough. Knead everything well. If the dough is sticky, add some of the remaining flour and knead again.

  3. Pre-heat oven to 175–200°c using upper and lower heat.

  4. Roll out the dough approximately 0.5 cm thick on a greased baking sheet. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the dough for approximately 10 to 20 minutes.

  5. Directly after baking, cut the dough for the walls into individual panels.

  6. Mix the icing sugar and egg white until you have a thick liquid. Use this sugar icing to glue the walls together and decorate the gingerbread house.
