Cooking

Put the butter a bit to melt.

Three peel into small teracce.

In a saucepan mix the honey, sugar, zest and spices.

Stirring constantly with a wooden spatula, heat it to boiling.

Remove from heat, add soda, gently stir with a spatula.

Give up (the mixture will begin to hiss slightly and increase in size).

Butter cut into pieces and dissolve in hot mixture. Cool.

To the cooled mixture add eggs, stir with a spatula and add about 2 cups of flour. The dough is very viscous and sticky. In the cold for 1 hour.

It is recommended that the dough domeshivat parts. I.e. to put part of the test, you need to bake on one sheet, the rest still waiting in the fridge nezamechena. I spread about 1/4 of the dough with a spatula on a silicone Mat, then added a little flour, the batter immediately becomes docile and non-sticky. Flour gently, it needs very little until the dough became pliable.

Raskatyvayut a thickness of 1.5-2 cm with the help of molds (previously dipped in flour) cut out of the workpiece.

With a spatula carefully transfer on the baking sheet covered with parchment paper.

Gingerbread bake until light it will turn brown, the main thing is not to overdo... and it turns out too hard. As soon as the dough began to propechetsja, immediately took out. I made gingerbread cookies large and malenik, respectively, a small baked faster.

While the cakes bake prepare the glaze. Mix approximately 50 ml of water and 50 ml of lemon juice, then gradually introduce powdered sugar to make a thick Fudge.

The cooled gingerbread smazyvaem fondant. I did several layers. Caused one made it freeze, then another, etc so that the sweets may not be enough. You can do another portion.

The last layer of fondant I put sugar confetti. The cakes that were brought grandma was with pavilon inside, sorry I didn't put jam from Oh, how good this is, nothing, the next will already pavilon!!!
