Cooking

step-0
The dough is done to your taste a month ago, it was in the freezer and waiting in the wings. The main ingredients of the original national recipe. Put the sugar into the pan and fry. As soon as it starts to darken, pour the water and stir until dark, but not thick. This also put the butter to melt. All the spices grind into a powder. The flour and spices pour into a bowl, pour the salt, add the garden, break the egg and pour the oil, burnt sugar. Mix well. The dough should not be sticky. It should be like plasticine.
step-1
If the dough sticks to hands and the table, add flour during the rolling out. (Adhere strictly to the recipe is not necessary, everything is done at your own discretion and taste ).
step-2
The dough is soft and well rolled.
step-3
From the rolled dough cut with cookie cutter snowflake cookie.
step-4
That's how many snowflakes at the ready. They would be good to grease yolk, but the eggs unfortunately, I'm out. Put cookies in preheated oven to 180 degrees no more than 12 minutes. (Baking time see for yourself, ovens are different). The cookies when removed from the oven, soft, but it dries as it cools down.
step-5
For painting on cookies take colored whipped egg whites with powdered sugar (I bought in the store ). Decorate cookies best left to children. In this respect, they are the best visionaries and artists. Children this lesson will give you great joy, and don't be afraid that the child is spoiled. And when you mess up, scold him is not necessary, so as not to discourage the desire to help You further.
step-6
Our snowflakes look more like flowers. (Cooking time took cookie rolling, cutting and coloring. )
step-7
Cookies bright and beautiful, just need to do that for the Christmas holiday! (The window no snow. But there was already snow and frost. These orange, and even red roses continue to bloom under the window and delight passers-by! )
step-8
Congratulations to all on the occasion of Christmas!!! Peace to You all!!!
