Cooking
First you need to prepare the dough. This oil is to be removed in advance, to make it soft and manageable. Put the butter in the bowl, add the sugar and beat with a mixer.
Add egg and again beat.
Honey melt (if solid), but do not boil. Add to whipped oil weight. Here add all the spices. Spices can be changed to your taste. Beat well.
Add part of the flour and baking powder, stir with a spatula.
Gradually add the remaining flour and knead plastic dough obedient. To form into a ball and wrap in cling film. Put into the refrigerator for a couple of hours at night.
For applesauce to take the apples, remove the core and bake until soft.
Rested divide the dough into 3 parts. Take one and roll out to a thickness of 2-3 mm. Spread on the baking sheet, the laid parchment and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 10-12 minutes. Finished workpiece to cool completely. From the test it turns out a lot of blanks, so if you're going to bake only the base for Christmas trees, you can decrease the products for the test twice.
Ready soft apples through a sieve. Warm up mashed potatoes on the stove, remove from heat and add sugar, stir until fully dissolved. Cool. To prepare the egg whites.
Agar agar, pour water and leave for 10 minutes. Then put on the stove and bring to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute. Then add the sugar and vanilla sugar, cook stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil.
Once the agar mixture starts to boil, put a cooking thermometer. As a result, the syrup must be heated to 110 degrees. As soon as the syrup begins to boil you need in a separate bowl, put mashed potatoes and protein and begin beating the ground with a mixer until lush white mass. Ideally the whipping should take a stationary mixer with a large capacity. I fluffed a regular manual, but the main thing that it is not overheated.
A thin stream pour the finished syrup has reached 110 degrees in the Apple-whites, without ceasing, meanwhile, to beat. (it is important not to digest, otherwise the syrup will darken). Optionally add green gel food coloring (1-2 drops). Finished mass should double in size, become shiny and thick (holds the shape).
To prepare the nozzle for the pastry bag and the bags. Immediately after whipping, place the marshmallow mixture into bags. I have the nozzle "closed star": one larger and one smaller.
Take the gingerbread and transplant them Christmas trees, first working pastry bag with a large nozzle, and then complete the work of a small, forming the tip. If there Zephyr, you can make marshmallows using the same nozzles, otsadil it on the baking paper.
Leave Christmas trees at night at room temperature. After about 10 hours the tree will sprinkle a special powder (to give snow effect). You will need to mix equal portions of sugar and starch.
Sprinkle the resulting powder tree. Store them to feed in a sealed dry container.
