Gingerbread Log Cabin Part 1
GINGER BREAD LOG CABIN PART 1
Plan on taking at least 3 days for this project.
Day one - baking of pieces
Day two- assembly of house (morning sides, gables and porch supports followed by 3-4 hours of drying and then the roof and porch in the evening) Let dry overnight.
Day three- chimney assembly and decoration of rest of house. Let dry several hours more before transporting.
Pattern pieces:
Roof: 12.5 x 6.7 inches (31.8 x 17.1 cm) Cut and bake 2 of these
Porch roof and floor: each 12.5 x 4 inches (31.8 x 10.2 cm) Cut and bake 2 of these
Chimney sides: 9 x 1 inches (22.9 x 2.5 cm) cut and bake 2 of these
Chimney tops 3 x 1 inches (7.6 x 2.5 cm) cut and bake 2 of these
Chimney front: make grid squares 1 inch (2.5cm) x 1 inch on bristol board and use photo in video as a guide and draw pattern on corresponding square on paper. Cut and bake one of these.
Gables: 9x6x6 inch triangle (22.9x15.2x15.2 cm)
Door: 4x2 1/2 Inches (10.2x 6.4 cm) cut and bake one of these
Window: 3x2 1/2 inches ( 7.6 x 6.cm) cut and bake 2 of these
Notch template:
A rectangle 1 inch x 2 1/4 inches with a notch cut out 7/16 deep by 1 inch wide, centered on one side of rectangle (5/8 from ends).
Gingerbread Dough Recipe:
(You will need 3 batches of this dough)
1 cup shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cups fancy molasses
1/2 cups blackstrap or cooking molasses (I used 1 1/4 fancy for both molasses because I couldn't find blackstrap molasses here)
6 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp ginger
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp ground cloves
Cream together sugar and shortening, beat in eggs one at a time.
Add molasses and blend well.
In another bowl mix together flour, salt and spices.
Blend dry ingredients a little at a time into the wet mixture until a dough forms. Using hands if necessary form a dough ball, divide into two equal portions. Wrap dough in plastic wrap or put into plastic bags and refrigerate for at least two hours.
Royal icing:
(you will need 2 or 3 batches of this depending how much you use)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup meringue powder
4 2/3 cups icing (powdered) sugar
Beat water with meringue powder until foamy about 4 minutes
Beat in icing sugar one cup at a time, beat until very stiff peaks form when beaters are lifted about 4 minutes. Cover with damp towel to prevent drying out. (can be refrigerated and made ahead for up to one day, mix well before using)
NOTE: If you find that your roof and porch pieces are soft in the center on the bottom side after they have cooled. I suggest putting them back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes or so until they are a darker brown and very crisp. I have had gingerbread houses collapses because of underbaking of roof pieces.
Let all pieces cool thoroughly. I let mine sit out overnight on racks to cool and dry.
There is a character limit in the description box. Full written instructions and the photo of the chimney template are here:
ULTIMATE GABAGOOL TASTE TEST: Sopranos Food Review.
DA GABAGOOL.
TONY.
THIS GUY
HE'S A MADE GUY
UNTOUCHABLE.
CANNOT BE TOUCHED.
Ey, who do you think would win in a fight. Tony Soprano or Joe Pesci in Casino?
Joe Pesci has that explosive small man anger to him, so what he might be lacking in brains, he more than makes up for in the element of surprise.
Tony, on the other hand, is a far better tactician. He'd be like Batman, planning out his moves and strategies. Though he has been hit by random acts of violence from time to time as well.
*cough cough*
