The published amount of dough I got two sheets of gingerbread. I advise you to roll them thicker, about one and a half centimeters. Mine turned out to be like cookies, but I have too little cutters. Next time I will cut the gingerbread on large stencils. You can paint all the gingerbread with white glaze, make it a solid fill or draw patterns. It will be very beautiful. If you make a hole in the upper part of the carrot when baking, then it can be hung on the tree.

How to make New Year's gingerbread gingerbread with glaze? Prepare the right products. Wash the egg and dry with napkins. Take the top grade flour. Sift it through a fine sieve to saturate with oxygen and make it more airy.

Add honey, sugar and all spices to the saute pan.

Put the saucepan on the heat. With constant stirring, bring the mixture to a boil. The sugar should dissolve completely.

Pour the hot mixture into a bowl, add the soda. Mix well. The mass will brighten and increase slightly in volume.

Put the butter in the honey mass. Mix well. The oil should completely melt in the hot mixture.

Now wait a little while for the mass to cool down. Then drive a raw egg into it. Stir with a whisk until smooth.

Knead the dough, adding the flour in parts. First knead with a spoon, then with your hands. dough should become thick and not sticky. Focus on its consistency, not the volume of flour - it can take you more or less. Pack the dough into a ball. Wrap the dough in cling film and place in the fridge for half an hour.

Then roll the dough into a layer about a centimeter thick. Using molds or stencils, cut out the gingerbread. Collect the remaining dough again into a ball, roll out and cut figurines from it.

Transfer the gingerbread to a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake the gingerbread for about 10-12 minutes at 180 ° C. Focus on your oven. Cool the finished gingerbread and remove from the paper.

While the gingerbread cools, make the glaze. Prepare the products for her. If you wish, you can take food dyes so that the glaze is colored. But just white looks beautiful.

Add the egg white to a separate bowl. Sift to it through a fine sieve of icing sugar.

Stir the egg mass well with a whisk until smooth. Add a few drops of lemon juice.

With a mixer, whisk the glaze until full white.

Set aside a couple of spoons of thick icing to draw a contour. Dilute the rest of the glaze with water to the desired thickness.

Add the dyes to the diluted glaze.

Spread the white and coloured glaze into bags or pastry bags.

Draw an outline on the carrots with white thick glaze. If it turned out not exactly, not scary, you can gently erase the glaze with your finger and draw the outline again. Correct all irregularities with toothpick. Let the contour dry for about 15 minutes.

Fill the middle of the gingerbread surface with a more liquid colored glaze. Correct the edges with a toothpick. Let the glaze set completely. It will take about an hour.
