Our website link:
Ingredients:
½ Cup, molasses 1 Cup, brown sugar
¾ Cup, soft butter or margarine 2 Tsp, ground ginger
1 Tsp, cinnamon 1 Tsp, cloves
2½ Cups, white or wheat flour 1 Tbsp, water
1 Tsp, baking soda
Method:
In a large bowl, add butter, brown sugar, spices mix together until creamy.
Add molasses and baking soda in a small bowl mix together then pour in with the other ingredients.
Sift flour slowly and mix together with wooden spoon then add 1 tbsp water more if needed. When cookie mixture starts to form a ball continue working the flour with your hand.
When the dough forms a ball wrap with clear wrap and put in fridge for one hour, cut ginger bread house walls or cookies 1/8 inch or thicker, place on cookie sheet on top of a piece of parchment paper.
GINGER BREAD HOUSE:
Roll dough 1/8 inch, cut out 4 rectangle shapes 3 x 5 inches, this is for the two sides and roof and 2 square shape 5 x 5 inches for the back and front cutting from the 3 inches mark on both sides to make a peak, to match the 3 inches sides, put on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes on 350ºF of heat.
Placing the wall sides on a plate or homemade base, put a line of icing sugar on the outer sides and stick together with other wall. Doing this until four walls are icing together, then placing the roof the same way with icing sugar on the outer sides to touch the top of the walls, keep something outside the walls so they don’t fall down.
After you built your house then decorating it is up to you, making icing windows, doors and shingles for roof.
ICING FOR GINGER BREAD HOUSES:
5 Cups, confectionary sugar ½ Tsp, cream of tarter
7 Tbsp, Water 1 Tsp, almond or mint extract
1 Tsp, corn syrup ½ Tsp, sea salt
In a large bowl add all your ingredients, mix until blended and add extra icing sugar if needed.
Cover with clear wrap and place in the fridge until ready to use. Use decorating bag to icing gingerbread house and to seal the sides, mix different bowls add food colourings if you like to have a coloured house. This icing is edible and it will form a hard mortar to keep your gingerbread house together
