Ingredients:
- 150 g of honey,
- 100 g of butter,
- 70 g sugar,
- egg,
- a teaspoon of baking soda,
- 50 g boiling water,
- 2 tablespoons of gingerbread spice,
- a pinch of salt,
- 380 g of flour.
Ingredients for the frosting:
- 350 g of powdered sugar,
- 50-70 ml of milk.
How to do it:
Put the butter and honey into a small pot. Heat over low heat until the ingredients dissolve and combine. Add the gingerbread spice and mix until combined. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Crack the egg into a bowl, add sugar and beat with a mixer into a light, fluffy mass. Add baking soda and boiling water and continue mixing. Then add honey and butter with spices. When all the ingredients are combined, we can add the flour. Mix everything with a spatula and then leave the mixture for a few minutes to cool. After about 10-15 minutes it will be ready for cutting gingerbread cookies.
We can use the table top and roller lightly brush with oil. The mass is quite sticky, which makes this procedure easier to work with. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2-3 mm and then cut out your favorite shapes. Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place in the oven preheated to 190 degrees C for approx. 7-8 minutes.
While the gingerbreads are baking, we can start preparing the icing. In a bowl, mix the milk and powdered sugar until smooth. Take the gingerbread out of the oven and dip it in the icing while still hot. Then place them on a rack to cool down.
The gingerbreads are soft immediately after baking, so you can eat them without any worries. Stored in a tightly closed container, they will last up to a month.
