Инструкции
- 1. Thoroughly blend flour, soda, salt and spices. Heat shortening in large saucepan. Add in sugar, molasses and Large eggs; mix well. Cold, then add in four c. of the blended dry ingredients and mix well. Preheat oven to 350F.
- 2. Turn mix onto lightly floured surface. Knead in remaining dry ingredients by hand. Add in a little more flour, if necessary, to make a hard dough.
- 3. Roll out dough on flat cookie sheets. Lay gingerbread house patterns lightly on rolled-out dough and cut around edges with sharp knife. Pick up scraps around cut pcs. Continue rolling out dough and cutting out pcs on cookie sheets, making sure to keep walls, roof and small pcs on separate cookie sheets. Bake one cookie sheet at a time in preheated oven.
- Large pcs may bake as long as fourteen min, depending on thickness . For small pcs, rolled thinly, six or possibly seven min may be sufficient. Check frequently to avoid over-browning.
- 4. Remove from cookie sheets and cold about 30 min on wire racks. Then cover a flat surface with paper toweling and place baked pcs on it to dry overnight before assembling house.
- 5. Assemble gingerbread house using Royal Icing: 2 lb powdered sugar, 6 egg whites, 1 tsp cream of tartar.
- This dough is delicious and rolls out smoothly. The baked dough is strong and rigid to support weight of candy and icing trims, and the house is very easy to combine. The icing will dry quickly and hold tight. Be sure to keep the icing covered with a damp cloth while not using.
