If there’s one thing that Christmas does right away, it’s creating a gingerbread house with the little ones. In this way it is possible to spend an afternoon all together among flour, eggs and all the colored decorations.
And if the Queen’s chef publishes the perfect recipe, then the result will be guaranteed! “In the run-up to Christmas, the chefs of Royal kitchens shared their recipe for making the perfect Gingerbread House,” reads the post, with a video showing the intricate decoration and construction of the cake.
The royal chefs coated the base with royal icing before adding the two ends of the house, with candied windows. They then supported the two parts of the roof by covering the space with a glaze that looked like snow.
Here is the recipe of the royal family’s gingerbread house
Ingredients for the gingerbread paste
1kg flour
14 g baking soda
28 g ground ginger
14 g ground cinnamon
355 g unsalted butter
500 g light brown sugar
140 g egg
175 g sugar syrup
Mix the flour, baking soda and spices together. Add the diced butter and continue mixing until you have a soft dough. Add the sugar and mix, then add the eggs and syrup and mix until a paste is formed. Divide the dough into two blocks, knead by hand and flatten. Wrap and cool for a few hours. Cut out the gingerbread house shapes using the template. Place on baking sheets and cool again before baking. For the windows, mash the boiled sweets into the spaces you cut out
Bake in a convection oven at 165 ° for 18 minutes for house pieces and 12 minutes for smaller pieces
Royal icing recipe ingredients
