New year's gingerbread with glaze

20 servings
2 hours 30 min

Mix honey, sugar and spices (cinnamon, ginger) in a saucepan, put the mixture on heat. Over a high heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and cook until the sugar dissolves. We take it off the fire. Add soda and butter. Cool the mixture to 60 degrees. Introduce the egg and stir with a mixer at medium speed. Add sifted flour in several stages. Wrap the finished dough in film and cool for 2 hours. Bake gingerbread at 180 gr.

For protein glaze (aisling), you need to mix all the ingredients into a homogeneous mass. Mix powdered sugar, egg white and citric acid with a mixer at a low speed. You do not need to beat for a long time, only until homogeneous. You can even do without a mixer. The finished glaze must be immediately covered with cling film in contact, as it dries very quickly.

The glaze is thick. In a small part of the glaze, we literally add water dropwise and achieve the desired consistency. We also stain the glaze in small parts with food dyes and arrange it in small confectionery bags (bags). We make two bags with glaze of the same color, but of different consistency, thicker glaze for the sides and more liquid for pouring the entire carrot. We make a small hole at the corner of the bag and start painting

And now I offer you ideas for gingerbread design. The easiest option is to cut out the gingerbread with cookie cutters (felling). I cut out bunnies and decorated my eyes and mouth with glaze.

If there are no molds and cuttings, then you can simply cut round carrots using a glass. Draw snowflakes on round carrots with thick glaze.

Or you can fill the whole gingerbread with orange glaze, make divorces using a white liquid glaze toothpick and we will get tangerines.

And here are three options for designing Christmas trees.

To cut the houses, I used a plastic mold for plasticine, which I borrowed from my son. There were two houses: red and green, but the red son ate so quickly that he did not have time to photograph.

Well, what about without classic ginger men? Here you can turn on your imagination and make little men of different genders, with different emotions, in different costumes and even with different hairstyles.

And turning the man upside down, you can make the faces of Santa's deer. I made a brown glaze by mixing red and green glaze.

If there are no food dyes, you can only get by with white glaze.
