Gingerbread Tea House

Ingredients:
100g Butter

100g Honey

300g Flour

1 teaspoon baking-soda

100g powdered sugar

1 Egg

1 pinch pepper

½ teaspoon Nutmeg

½ teaspoon Cinnamon

(2 teaspoons Cocoa)

Melt butter and honey together in a pot.

Mix together Flour and baking soda.

The butter-honey mass, the flour-baking soda, powdered sugar, egg and the spices are mixed together to get a nice even dough.

If you want you can dye the dough using cocoa.

Let the dough cool in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Roll it out to 3-4mm thickness.

Cut out the pieces (you’ll need two of each for the house).

Bake them at around 160°C circulating air for about 7 Minutes.

Bigger pieces may need 1 to 2 minutes longer.

"Cookie-Glue"

For the „glue“:

• beat the egg white from two eggs until it’s stiff.
• slowly add 400g sieved powdered sugar while beating until it’s a tough snow-white mass.

If you want it colourful just add some fruit or vegetable juice and some food colour.

Put the mass into a decorating bag

Steps

1. Bake the gingerbread dough after cutting enough parts as described in the

recipe. 2. Let the parts fully cool down. 3. "Glue" one piece at a time starting with the base and let the pieces rest for at least 1 minute until "gluing" the next piece. The roof will be the last two pieces. 4. You can decorate the houses as you wish.

DO NOT USE ANY TOXIC GLUE IF YOU WANT TO EAT THEM!
