Hello there jolly elves! (see what I did there?) Today is recipe that is so fun to make, but also to decorate! It is a gingerbread house! We bought this gingerbread house kit which came from Wheel & Barrow, it basically comes with all of the cut outs for making a gingerbread house, dus laten we de slag te gaan! (So lets get going!)
You will need: 2 1/4 cups of gluten free self raising flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, 90 g butter chopped coarsely, 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup of treacle (or any thick sweetener) and 1 egg lightly beaten.
To begin, process flour, butter and spices until crumbly. Add the brown sugar, treacle and egg. Process until a dough forms and then turn it out onto a bench floured well with gluten free flour and knead until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Divide the dough up however you want it and roll it out (NOTE: It MUST be between two sheets of baking paper to stop it sticking). Roll it out to a 1/2 cm thickness and cut shapes out. Re-roll the dough if needed. Place the shapes in the oven for 12 minutes until barely firm (they will become crisp when cool). Assemble and go crazy with decorating!
