Method
The dough is prepared by stir soft butter with brown sugar until fluffy cream. Add successively eggs, 1 tbsp water, honey, spices. Stirring continued and cup cup flour is added - in the beginning stir with a mixer, then knead by hand. The resulting dough is placed in a plastic bag and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours. The dough can stand in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Once removed from the refrigerator leave for 10 minutes to relax. Spread a sheet of paper and cooking on it is rolled into a thickness of about 0.5 cm of the dough. With the prepared templates are cut different parts of the house - two side walls - optional with window, front wall with door and rear side, two rectangles for the roof and optional features such as a chimney, shutters for windows, door and carved figurines shaped sweet. Excess dough is removed, trays should be off because slight swell when baked. The basis of the house are baked or the rest of the dough with irregularly shaped or large round-shaped plate, which will be the house. Bake in a preheated 180 C oven for 10-15 minutes until slightly darker at the edges. Remove carefully and leave to cool. While warm again using the templates are cut with a sharp knife to the correct shape. for the blind of the house, prepare glaze by first Beat the egg whites with mixer and then add powdered sugar and lemon juice. Totally cool parts of the house sticking with glaze - the most convenient to use a pastry syringe, but can also be applied with a spoon, brush, etc. The assembly started from the walls which are glued and placed on the substrate. Stick to it and leave little to tight. Apply glaze on the edges, where they will be covered and set he. All slots are filled with glaze and can sprinkle with colored sticks. Adhesive kominche, covers for windows and door - optional. Allow the glaze to dry - at least 15 minutes. To decorate use candy, waffles, biscuits, chocolate, colored sticks, coconut, the rest of the glaze, baked figurines dough, which can decorate separately and glued to the house, and whatever else comes into your mind. Finally, sprinkle with powdered sugar through a sieve or coconut - to look snowy. On the set products obtained enough dough for a house with a large base, spare figures - if there is broken, and some cookies different shapes. The House retains a nice taste for two weeks after assembly. Then begins to lose its taste qualities, but even four weeks after making tasty. Ideas: - For adhesive can be used caramelized sugar. - In the dough can put cocoa or be divided into light and dark dough - so will look more chocolate. - For roof tiles can be put cookies or rectangular wafer peel. - can be made figurines Christmas trees, dwarfs and line up in the yard of the house. - In the decoration can be used and small toys.

We are glad that you like the idea, do not be afraid to try it! It is not difficult and does not take long - we only we did 3 times - first made the dough, the next day they roasted and cut out the elements and the third slepihme and adorned them. Of course, the most fun is the last stage :) It is also delicious - we broke off his hands (though this is a golyaaaama cookie). If you do must put pictures - will be interesting to all :)

Last night I started doing it, they told me to caramelize sugar. And mykite started - so I experienced rapid tightened - I hvyrchah between counter and stove and was burned rezultatyt rytse, prystite my blisters and hurt an real lot, why do not I met last night this recipe. Something I vyrteshe this glue mix, as if I had met her but I was told that this is glaze for sweet and sticky with caramel. I could not sleep - very painful - say what I rub. The recipe is easy and very, very beautiful.
einjal, to this is the glaze and glue mix. Moreover, it is not hot and not have to work quickly (as caramelised sugar) thing is that you first glued and then embellishing with this mixture. Moreover, it is white and can be decked in any color you want, as opposed to the caramel, which may seem like a filthy. For burned hands - pick from a pharmacy mehlemche to burn, keep it chistichko and suhichko (can he put a loose bandage) and just hope to go faster.
Thank you very -vzeh mehlemche, bandaged and you Sym hard left, kept. I picked up the basics of kyshtata and we decoration anymore. Many, many thanks
templates on how cm. Should be?
templates that are in the products we use and are not sized in centimeters, if you open the sheet of A4 paper will get them in the right size.
How long can pretty much stay the house once it has been?
two weeks I would say that is completely well. Our January ate more than a month, but of course at some point slightly soil to dry out and weaken taste. Only for decoration and months may not last.
Thank you for the great recipe and ideas that we learned from the pictures! At last I decided to do, and I think the result was worth ousia. Happy Holidays and a lot of culinary delights and achievements of all the friends and admirers of the site! :)
