Cooking

step-0
Honey, butter, and sugar and bring to a boil. Constantly interfere, because the honey stick, and sugar and tries to turn into caramel. Remove from heat and leave to cool slightly.
step-1
Mix the flour with salt, cinnamon, ginger and baking powder.
step-2
In the cooled honey mixture add the egg and flour mixture. Knead thoroughly and leave for 2 hours.
step-3
Roll the dough thickness of 0.5 - 1 cm (the thinner, the more the pastry will be similar to biscuits, but if you roll plump, you get gingerbread) and cut figurines (in the original recipe it was stars, but the molds for them, I have not found my flowers). Baking tray lay a baking paper and lay out figures. Put in a preheated 180 degree oven and bake 10 to 15 minutes. It is very important to keep track of time, because to burn gingerbread can in just a minute.
step-4
Get here are the blanks (from the given test number 25 - 35 figures depending on the size of the cookie cutters and thickness of dough, I turned 27 and snowman from the remains). Now everything depends on your imagination. You can make a glaze of powdered sugar, this icing sugar add 5 - 6 tablespoons water and stir thoroughly. Dip the gingerbread in this mix, but you can use ready it turns white in contrast to the glazes from powder. The icing can be tinted with food dyes
step-5
Immediately after frosting the cakes sprinkle with confectionary powder or almond petals, colored coconut, crushed nuts. Most importantly this should be done quickly because the icing dries and it did not catch on.
