When the melted butter-honey mixture is thoroughly dispersed, soda must be added to it. It is not necessary to extinguish it with vinegar, honey will do it. As a result, foam forms on the surface of the mixture.

The egg mixture should be carefully poured into this mass, continuously breaking it with a mixer.

Separately sift both types of flour. Then this must be done again, but by mixing together the spices, cocoa and both types of flour - rye and wheat. The dry mass should be poured in a thin stream to the composition of honey and eggs. The mass is stirred. You need to make dough from it. First, it must be mixed with a mixer.

Then the dough will have to be kneaded by hand. It is divided into 4 equal servings. Blanks are wrapped in cling film and go to the refrigerator for an hour.

Chilled honey gingerbread dough is rolled into a layer with a thickness of no more than 5 mm. Try to achieve a uniform dough without bubbles. Gingerbread cookies are cut from the resulting layer using stencils or molds.

Cooking method

So, if you decide to diversify festive table gingerbread New Year's cakes, take note of the proposed recipe with step by step photos... This will make it easier for you to cope with baking, especially if this is your first time making such a dessert.

Prepare everything first necessary ingredients and do not forget about the molds for cutting figures from gingerbread dough. You can make not only funny people. Stars, Christmas trees, mittens, images of Santa Claus will perfectly fit into the atmosphere of the holiday. You can even cut charming circles with a glass.

Take a saucepan with a thick bottom or cauldron. All the sugar is poured into the container. The dishes are put on fire.

For the first 5 minutes, the sugar should dissolve without your participation, on its own. It must not be interfered with, touched, tasted, or removed from the stove.

When the bottom layer of granulated sugar disperses and slightly changes its shade, it is worth starting stirring the mass.

It is not worth adding fire. Don't make it overly strong. Let the sugar dissolve gradually and gradually. As a result, it must disperse entirely. The liquid mass will acquire a dark saturated color. When the syrup is ready, you need to boil the kettle with water. You only need to take 200 ml of steep brew. They should be poured as carefully as possible to the burnt sugar.

Note! When pouring water into sugar syrup the mass will start to "shoot". So be extremely careful not to burn yourself.

The resulting composition must be carefully mixed so that its consistency becomes uniform. In the mixture you will need to put butter, previously cut into small squares. The mass must be stirred and allowed to wait until it becomes completely homogeneous due to the dissolution of the oil.

Into the workpiece for gingerbread for New Years, add cinnamon and salt. The composition must be diluted with nutmeg and soda. Ground red pepper also goes here.

The workpiece must be thoroughly mixed. It should double in size. The mass will turn into a fluffy and dense foam.

The flour should be sieved twice so that the finished gingerbread cookies are tender and tasty. The mass is removed from the stove, and prepared flour will need to be poured into it in several passes.

After adding each part of flour to the dough, the composition must be thoroughly stirred. After adding all the flour, the dough should become docile and elastic. Some stickiness will be present, but not excessive. The mass is wrapped in plastic wrap and sent to the refrigerator for an hour. It is optimal to leave the dough in the cold and completely overnight.

In the meantime, you need to get down to cooking sugar glaze(icing) for painting future gingerbread. For this, it is worth preparing the necessary components.

Crude proteins from chicken eggs must be poured into a free bowl. Fine powdered sugar is poured to them in a thin stream, which is sifted through the finest sieve before being added to the composition.

Stir the components with a fork or whisk. All the powder should be absorbed by the protein mass, as a result of which the composition will turn slightly white. Then you should continue beating with a mixer or blender. The device should be set at high speed so that the mixture becomes thick and fluffy. Its shade at the exit should acquire a crystal white. During whipping, squeeze the juice from half a lemon or lime into a mass.

On a note! The total whipping time for icing is about 5 minutes.

So our glaze is ready for decorating gingerbread New Year's gingerbread for serving on the festive table. Icing will need to be divided into several portions and diluted with a specific dye. The glaze is covered with foil and sent to the refrigerator.

They must be sent to the oven preheated to 180 degrees. The optimal setting for baking is 7 minutes.

When the baking is completely cool, it should be painted with prepared icing.

The result is an excellent delicious New Year's gingerbread.

And of course, making gingerbread is a great excuse to spend time with children, for whom the author of cookbooks and blogger Irina Chadeeva is now called "Pirogology for Children". So, we arm ourselves with a step-by-step recipe for gingerbread dough and bake and decorate gingerbread on the weekend before the New Year.

Gingerbread is perhaps the oldest Russian delicacy. Ten centuries ago, gingerbread dough was kneaded with honey and rye flour... Later, when they began to bring spices to Russia from the East, they began to add cinnamon, anise, cloves, cardamom and even pepper to gingerbread.

In the Middle Ages, gingerbread was baked not only in Russia, but throughout Europe. French gingerbread bread, Nuremberg almond gingerbread, Swedish gingerbread cookies are still famous.

Today, gingerbread dough is most often made from wheat flour by kneading the dough with sugar, honey, eggs and spices. Honey gives the gingerbread a wonderful aroma, and also prevents them from stale. Molasses is often used instead of honey.

For carved gingerbread the dough is rolled out 3-5 mm thick and the figures are cut out with a knife or tin molds. If such gingerbread cookies are supposed to be hung on the tree, then the holes for the threads must be made before baking.

Printed gingerbread were very common in Russia. For printed gingerbread, special wooden boards were made with a pattern - seals. Such a form was greased with oil, stuffed with dough, and then turned over on the table - and the drawing of the form was printed on future gingerbread.

Printing boards for gingerbread were quite expensive, bakers poached the best carvers from each other to bake gingerbread with the most intricate and beautiful patterns. the boards were different - from small ones, for children's gingerbread, to huge ones, the size of a table, for gift gingerbread. For some important celebrations, special boards were carved - with inscriptions and drawings on the occasion of the holiday.

We will learn how to cook both cut and print gingerbread. If you don't have a wooden mold, it doesn't matter, shallow molds or plasticine stamps will do. Tin molds (for carved gingerbread) can also be replaced - for example, with a small cup or sandbox molds (of course, they must be new).

Gingerbread dough is made mainly of flour, sugar and honey, with a small amount of liquid and oil. You can knead such a dough as much as you like, but it is very important not to forget to add baking powder, then the gingerbread cookies will be tender, not dense.

These gingerbread cookies can be stored for a long time, and in our family we bake such to hang on the Christmas tree. To do this, in each gingerbread, you need to make a hole with a cocktail straw and only then put it in the oven.

Rules for working with gingerbread dough:

do not forget to cool the milk and honey mixture;
let the dough lie down so that it is well saturated with the aroma of spices;
be sure to lay baking paper on a baking sheet;
since the gingerbread cookies are dark, you may not notice that they are browned, so watch the baking especially carefully.

For the test:

300 g flour (set aside 2 tablespoons of this amount)
50 g sugar
100 g honey
50 ml milk
1 egg
40 g butter
2 teaspoons ground spices (1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 3-4 crushed cloves, a quarter grated nutmeg, 1 ground cardamom pod)
1 teaspoon with a slide of cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder

Glaze:

1 egg white
220 g icing sugar

Dishes and equipment:

bowl for kneading dough
spoon
rolling pin
molds
cocktail straw
tassel
baking sheet lined with baking paper
preheat the oven to 200 ° C

Sift flour into a large bowl, add cocoa, baking powder, spices and stir.

Put butter, sugar, honey, milk in a saucepan and put on low heat, stir until sugar dissolves. No need to boil. Cool the mixture to 30–40 ° С.

Make a well in flour and pour honey syrup there, add an egg. Use a spoon to knead a fairly soft, elastic dough.

Put the dough on a table, sprinkled with 2 tablespoons of flour, and knead well. Put it in the refrigerator, put it in a bag, for an hour or more. This dough can keep in the refrigerator for several days (and it only gets better!).

Previously, the gingerbread dough was specially kept in the cold for several months so that it acquired the necessary aroma and ductility. Some gingerbread could also be stored for a very long time - they, of course, stale, but did not deteriorate.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit for half an hour to warm up and make it easier to work with. Roll out the finished dough on a lightly floured table to a thickness of 2-3 mm and cut out the cookies.

Transfer the cookies to a baking sheet, brushing off excess flour with a soft brush. Use a cocktail straw to make holes for the ribbons.
The remaining pieces of dough can be collected and rolled out again.
If you want to bake printed gingerbread cookies, oil a gingerbread board and stuff as tightly as possible with the dough. Run the top with a rolling pin and turn it over onto a table sprinkled with flour. Carefully remove the gingerbread cookies and transfer to a baking sheet.

Bake cut gingerbread cookies for 8 minutes at 200 ° C, and printed ones for 15 minutes at 180 ° C.
For the icing, beat the egg white into a dense foam (like for a meringue), add half the powdered sugar and beat again, the mass will be fluid. Add remaining powder and mix. Transfer the mixture to a bag, cut off the tip to create a very small hole, and decorate the gingerbread. Let the glaze dry for a couple of hours.

You can also decorate the gingerbread with melted chocolate. But to paint the gingerbread cookies with chocolate or icing beautifully and accurately is a difficult task! Even from experienced pastry chef concentration and attention is required, so first I advise you to practice on a simple sheet of baking paper. Make sure that the glaze is thick enough, in this case it is much more convenient to paint with it.

In a separate bowl, mix the icing sugar and eggs. 5

When the melted butter-honey mixture is thoroughly dispersed, soda must be added to it. It is not necessary to extinguish it with vinegar, honey will do it. As a result, foam forms on the surface of the mixture.

The egg mixture should be carefully poured into this mass, continuously breaking it with a mixer.

Separately sift both types of flour. Then this must be done again, but by mixing together the spices, cocoa and both types of flour - rye and wheat. The dry mass should be poured in a thin stream to the composition of honey and eggs. The mass is stirred. You need to make dough from it. First, it must be mixed with a mixer.

On a note! If you plan to decorate the Christmas tree with ready-made pastries, then at this stage make holes for the fasteners. For this purpose, it is optimal to use cocktail tubes.

The baking sheet is covered with parchment. Our gingerbreads are laid out on it. They should be sent to the oven, which is brought to 150 degrees.

Cooking method

So, if you decide to diversify the festive table with gingerbread New Year's cakes, take note of the proposed recipe with step-by-step photos. This will make it easier for you to cope with baking, especially if this is your first time making such a dessert.

First, prepare all the ingredients you need, and don't forget the gingerbread cutters. You can make not only funny people. Stars, Christmas trees, mittens, images of Santa Claus will perfectly fit into the atmosphere of the holiday. You can even cut charming circles with a glass.

Take a saucepan with a thick bottom or cauldron. All the sugar is poured into the container. The dishes are put on fire.

For the first 5 minutes, the sugar should dissolve without your participation, on its own. It must not be interfered with, touched, tasted, or removed from the stove.

When the bottom layer of granulated sugar disperses and slightly changes its shade, it is worth starting stirring the mass.

It is not worth adding fire. Don't make it overly strong. Let the sugar dissolve gradually and gradually. As a result, it must disperse entirely. The liquid mass will acquire a dark saturated color. When the syrup is ready, you need to boil the kettle with water. You only need to take 200 ml of steep brew. They should be poured as carefully as possible to the burnt sugar.

Note! When water is poured into the sugar syrup, the mass will begin to "shoot". So be extremely careful not to burn yourself.

The resulting composition must be carefully mixed so that its consistency becomes uniform. In the mixture you will need to put butter, previously cut into small squares. The mass must be stirred and allowed to wait until it becomes completely homogeneous due to the dissolution of the oil.

Pour cinnamon and salt into the blank for gingerbread for the New Year. The composition must be diluted with nutmeg and soda. Ground red pepper also goes here.

The workpiece must be thoroughly mixed. It should double in size. The mass will turn into a fluffy and dense foam.

The flour should be sieved twice so that the finished gingerbread cookies are tender and tasty. The mass is removed from the stove, and prepared flour will need to be poured into it in several passes.

After adding each part of flour to the dough, the composition must be thoroughly stirred. After adding all the flour, the dough should become docile and elastic. Some stickiness will be present, but not excessive. The mass is wrapped in plastic wrap and sent to the refrigerator for an hour. It is optimal to leave the dough in the cold and completely overnight.

In the meantime, you need to start preparing icing sugar for painting future gingerbread. For this, it is worth preparing the necessary components.

Raw proteins from chicken eggs must be poured into a free bowl. Fine powdered sugar is poured to them in a thin stream, which is sifted through the finest sieve before being added to the composition.

Stir the components with a fork or whisk. All the powder should be absorbed by the protein mass, as a result of which the composition will turn slightly white. Then you should continue beating with a mixer or blender. The device should be set at high speed so that the mixture becomes thick and fluffy. Its shade at the exit should acquire a crystal white. During whipping, squeeze the juice from half a lemon or lime into a mass.

On a note! The total whipping time for icing is about 5 minutes.

So our glaze is ready for decorating gingerbread New Year's gingerbread for serving on the festive table. Icing will need to be divided into several portions and diluted with a specific dye. The glaze is covered with foil and sent to the refrigerator.

They must be sent to the oven preheated to 180 degrees. The optimal setting for baking is 7 minutes.

When the baking is completely cool, it should be painted with prepared icing.

The result is an excellent delicious New Year's gingerbread.
