Ginger Bread House Recipe

How to make it

---

• All ingredients are available from organic farming and/or fair trade.
• With these proportions of spices it will be very mild.
• Double the dose for the real xmas feeling.
• Put the dough in plastic wrapping in a fridge over night.
• Make ca 4mm thick pieces
• But first you need to figure out the dimensions of the house, i.e. walls, windows, doors, chimney etc.
• Bake (175 degrees for ca 10 min) and let cool down.
• Should be brown, the trick is to the get the final product crisp so that it does not fall apart so quickly. Thick gingerbread cookies have a tendency to become soft ...
• Decorate with glazing and decorate with candies.
• 1 egg white
• 1 dl icing sugar
• juice from half a lemon
• Glue:
• Melt sugar in a pan big enough to fit the widest wall.
• Be careful, It is REALLY warm!
• Tear down the house when Christmas ends, i.e. on January 13. (tjugonde dag Knut).
• A bit more advanced version is to cut out windows before baking.
• When it is cool put in windows made of sheets of gelatin,
• glue with the molten sugar.
