Ingredients

Servings: 10

200 g golden syrup
60 g Butter
100 g Sugar
1 pinch Salt
2 eggs + 1 fresh egg
7-10 Tbsp white
500 g + some flour
2 TEASPOONS Baking Powder
2 TEASPOONS Gingerbread spice
1 TABLESPOON Cocoa
150 g Icing sugar
7-10 Tbsp Cling film
baking paper
7-10 Tbsp Wood skewer
1 disposable piping bag or 1 small freezer bag
10 thin ribbons

Directions

1
Heat sugar beet syrup, butter, sugar and salt while stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the mixture into a bowl and allow to cool. Stir in the eggs one by one. Mix 500 g flour, baking powder and spice and knead in.
2
Halve the dough, knead the cocoa under one half. Wrap both doughs in foil, chill for at least 2 hours.
3
Line two baking trays with baking paper. Roll out doughs separately on a little flour 5-6 mm thin. Cut out approx. 5 house fronts (approx. 10 x 15 cm) each with gables. For the doors and windows, cut out small squares and rectangles from the dough scraps.
4
Stick to the house fronts with some protein. Prick small holes in the gables with a wooden skewer to hang up.
5
Spread the cottages on the baking trays. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 15 minutes. Let them cool down. For the icing, beat the rest of the egg white until stiff, while pouring in icing sugar.
6
Pour into the freezer bag, cut off a small corner. Decorate house fronts with the cast and leave to dry. Pull the gift ribbons through the holes and knot them together as pendants.
