In the holiday spirit more than usual, I’ve decided to make a gingerbread house. Here’s what it looks like in my kitchen today:
Pre-prefab. These templates will form roof, front, back and sides.
Ingredients measured and ready to go.
This recipe uses 1.5 cups of cream, whipped, instead of butter and egg.
I hope my bowl is big enough to add 9 cups of flour.
At the seventh cup of flour, I was tired of stirring.
I used foil-covered cardboard braces to roll the dough to a consistent thickness.
Halfway through baking, I trimmed and straightened the pieces.
House trimmings make a yummy snack.
Mmmmmm gingerbread.
