It is time to make the
Christmas gingerbread house with this easy recipe.
Ingredients
300 g brown sugar
1000 g golden syrup
250 g butter
100 g eggs
1320 g self raising
flour
30 g mixed spice
40 g ground ginger
Method
Place sugar, syrup and
butter in a mixing bowl and mix evenly. Add egg and combine. Add flour and
spices and mix until a dough is formed. Place the dough in cling wrap and allow
cooling in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Roll the dough out to 4 mm
thickness and place on a paper lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven on
180ÂșC normal bake for approx. 12 min. Allow cooling before cutting the shapes
from the template. You will need 1 bottom piece (21 x15 cm), 2 side pieces (8 x
14 cm), 2 end pieces (11 x 17 cm) and 2 roof pieces (18 x 11 cm). Make a royal
icing with egg whites and icing sugar. Glue the pieces together with the icing
and decorate with a variation of candy and chocolate.
Note: Use the same dough to make gingerbread men and biscuits.
Here is a picture of
the templates I use.
The brown is the bottom, green the roof, rectangular
yellow is the side and the other yellow is for the end pieces.
