Cooking

Let's start with the dough. The dough we prepare today and bake it tomorrow but better after two months. Now! Take half the flour and mix with dry spices. Set aside.

Now take a bowl, a saucepan, put in the honey + sugar + butter and put in a water bath to dissolve the sugar. You can put on very small fire..

Here the sugar is dissolved, add water, stir. Notice in the recipe I pointed out that the water is cold.

Now take the eggs for the dough and put into a separate bowl. Take eggs for the icing, separate the whites from the yolks and the yolks in the eggs for the dough. It's very simple. Proteins put in the glass, close and leave in refrigerator. If you will be baking the next day, and let's say a week, month, etc., that keep the proteins in the freezer! Before preparing the icing, remove squirrels in the evening and put it out to thaw in the refrigerator.

We have a bowl two whole eggs and two yolks. Mix them with a fork until smooth.

Pour in the mixture of cognac and baking powder. Or as I indicated in the ingredients of soda, slaked vinegar. Tchatelno stir.

Pour the egg mixture

Pour our mixture in capacity for kneading the dough. Pour the flour with spices and stir.

Add the remaining flour and knead the dough. I warn you, my dear, the dough is sticky, difficult to kneading. It reminds superheated plasticine. But! We wrap in cling film or a bag and put in fridge at least a day. If you will be given advice to put on one hour, then I give my word that 1 - you namuchaetes with the test ; 2 - the product will be tough. The best dough is obtained after two months of exposure.

The dough rested. It should work on a flour covered surface. So! Osipyan piece of dough. Roll out to a thickness of 3 - 4mm. Cut out two isosceles triangle. I have a height of 10 cm. One triangle cut in half.

Nadeem corners and bent

The Christmas tree bake 12 minutes at t 180'.

The finished Christmas tree covered with icing. I have an addition of food dye. Give dry. I'm not going to do MK for the icing. And on the Cook and on the Internet there are lots of recipes and great videos on his cooking.

Osipyan piece of dough. Rolled thickness 6 - 7 mm. shape. Any! Cut hole the size of a future lamp ( I have a candle - pill), take out the burning part. Basis inserted into the holes and fill with peas or beans. The finished tree marks the spot where it will stand (making a good dent). Bake 15 - 17 min. Ave. t 180'.

After baking, while the product is hot, try a Christmas tree to cut and align

Peas pour, insert taken out of the candles, the Christmas tree and decorate at will. SHINE!!!

Shine

Test a lot. Here's the thing. Roll out the dough thickness 4 - 5 mm. cut out two identical triangles. In one make a hole. Plug-in base are filled with peas or beans. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes at t 180'. I have the photo of the finished triangles, formed Jewish with an asterisk.

Asterisk ready

You can make a candle holder saucer. I turned the saucer, missed it with oil and sprinkle with flour. Rasatala the dough with thickness of 3 - 4mm stitched saucers. and a thickness of 7 - 8 mm. Made a hole milking candles. All baked 15 minutes at t 180'.

Carefully remove from the saucer, insert a small stick and decorate. To be sure, you can put in a saucer.

Test a lot. You can bake a gingerbread. I love to hang gingerbread cookies on the tree and make them a cocktail straw holes. The dough is rolled with a thickness of 5 mm and bake 10 minutes at t 180'.

That's the kind of shit work.

Here is a sample set of gingerbread products.

I have all the products here won't fit. I did not put such purpose. I wanted to show and tell what the gingerbread dough - it's not difficult and it is possible to prepare a variety of products. So the finished product is not dry, be sure to coat the gingerbread anything. This may be the icing, chocolate or your favorite frosting. If this happened, then put the gingerbread in the pan, laying the tracing paper and skorochkina from apples. Leave overnight. Happy new year, friends!
