Recipe "Gingerbread with icing "

Ingredients

butter

145g

sugar

90 g

egg

2 pcs. (1 egg + 1 yolk)

spices (cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg)

1.5g

honey

150 g

salt

2 g

flour

415 g + a little more on the ground

soda

3 g

vinegar

½ tsp

icing sugar

210 g

starch

30 g

protein

40 g

lemon juice

10 g

Step 1/11

Beat butter at room temperature with sugar until white, fluffy.

Step 2/11

Extinguish the soda with vinegar and mix with honey. Add the egg and yolk, stir again.

Step 3/11

Add honey to the oil mixture, without ceasing to beat.

Step 4/11

Swap the attachment for a spatula or hook, add the flour and spice mixture and knead the dough.

Step 5/11

Wrap the dough in cling film or parchment and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 6/11

On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 4-5 mm thick layer and cut out the figures using molds.

Step 7/11

Transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes at 190C. Leave the ready-made gingerbreads to cool completely.

Step 8/11

Prepare the glaze: gently mix (but do not beat) all the ingredients with a mixer until a dense, snow-white mass is obtained.

Step 9/11

Transfer about a third of the glaze to a piping bag, cut off the tip to make a thin hole and contour the biscuits. Hold your hand in the same way as when squeezing toothpaste onto a brush: close to the surface, but without touching it.

Step 10/11

For pouring, add 1-2 teaspoons of warm water to the remaining glaze - the mass should become a little thinner than the contour, but not too much. Transfer it to a pastry bag and apply to the gingerbread cookies.

Step 11/11

If desired, the glaze can be painted with gel dyes, apply voluminous patterns with an outline composition, decorate gingerbread cookies with confectionery sprinkles, etc.
