Directions

  1. 1

    Grease a baking tray, dust it with flour. Heat honey, 100 g sugar and 2 tablespoons water while stirring over medium heat until everything is dissolved. Let it cool down for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven: Electric range: 175 °C/AC: 150 °C/gas: Stage 2. Separates 2 eggs. Beat 2 egg yolks, 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of sugar until creamy. Stir in the honey. Mix flour, cocoa, spices and baking powder. Knead it first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then briefly with your hands underneath

  2. 2

    Roll out the dough on the baking tray. Put it in the oven and bake the dough for about 20 minutes. Leave it

  3. 3

    Cool down for about 5 minutes. Cut a large rectangle (21 x 30 cm; Din-A-4) and 2 equal triangles (approx. 13 cm high) with 15 cm long sides each. Cut a door (approx. 3 x 5 cm) out of one triangle. Divide the rectangle 1 x across. Cut out figures from the rest. Let everything cool down

  4. 4

    For the icing, beat 2 egg whites and 400 g icing sugar with a hand mixer until thick and creamy. Fill half of it into the piping bag. Stir the rest of the icing with 1-2 tbsp. water. Spread it on the roofs and sprinkle with almond slivers and almond slivers. Spread the figures with the cast and decorate them with pastry decorations

  5. 5

    Let everything dry for 1-2 hours. Cut the tip off the disposable piping bag or a small corner of the freezer bag. Spray cast on the undersides of the roofs and on the top 2 sides of the triangle. Glue the house together. Place an upside-down cup or glass down there as a support. Seal the piping bag (e.g. with a rubber band). Allow the house to dry well.

  6. 6

    Then spray roof ridge and gable with remaining cast. Place the almond kernels on the roof ridge. Paint window and door decorations with the remaining cast. Glue the door to the house and maybe a tap on the roof. Let everything dry. Arrange chocolate as logs, almond slivers as straw and the decorated figures around the crunchy house. Finally, "snow" everything with icing sugar thickly
