400g brown sugar
5tbsp honey
100g margarine
4 eggs
750g flour
1 tbsp gingerbread spices
1 tbsp cocoa
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
icing sugar
egg whites
sweets
Slowly heat the sugar, honey and margarine until it becomes a smooth paste. Let cool down.
Meanwhile combine the dry ingredients. Add the eggs one by one, then add the sugar mixture. Knead to form a smooth sticky dough. Cover and let rest for about a day.
Roll out and cut into shapes. Bake at 200°C until the gingerbread is brown. Let cool completely.
Beat the egg whites stiff. On a slow mixing speed, add icing sugar until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency. Use this as glue to stick the house together. Any extra can be used for decoration and to stick on sweets.
