GINGERBREAD RECIPE FOR GINGERBREAD HOUSES
- 1/2 c. butter, softened
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1/2 c. molasses
- 3 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ginger
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. cloves
- 1/3 c. water
Cream butter and sugar thoroughly with electric mixer. Beat in molasses.
Blend all dry ingredients. Alternately add blended dry ingredients
and water to the butter-sugar mixture. Dough will become stiff, so
that the last dry addition may need to be blended by hand. Work dough
until it is smooth in consistency. If dough sticks to your hands,
lightly dust them with flour. Carefully though, too much flour makes
dough dry and hard.
When dough is easy to work, you're ready to roll it out and make your
gingerbread house pieces. If you're not going to make your gingerbread
house right away, wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate (up to 1 week).
Bring to room temperature before rolling (3 hours).
Note:
You may need to make up to 3 recipes to make your gingerbread house.
Make each separately and cover with plastic wrap. Bake at 375 degrees
for 8-10 minutes.
Patterns for gingerbread houses may be of your own design or found
in Gingerbread kits. Be sure to cut two front-back pieces, two side
walls and two roof pieces.
Gingerbread House Notes:
- The secret to a perfect Gingerbread House is to roll out the
dough on the back of your cookie sheet and cut around the pattern
(removing only the dough from around the pattern). Bake on back
of cookie sheet.
- After baking the house pieces, place the pattern over each
part while they are still warm and trim to pattern size any puffy
or out of shape lines.
- After baking, remove from cookie sheets and let dry overnight
on oven racks in a 200 degree oven. You want all pieces to be
solid and dry (like bricks).
- Use stiff consistency Royal icing to glue walls together and
decorate with candies.
