Sweet Little Houses

Houses made of gingerbread and candies are wonderful. Even if we dont have much time, we can still make them by taking a shortcut and creating a simpler version of the house. We wrap the houses in cellophane and decorate them with colorful ribbons - and there we have a lovely little gift!

Ingredients

  • 200 g Sugar, white

  • 100 g Sugar, white

  • 10 pieces chocolate, dark

  • 10 pieces Sugar, white

glazura

  • 0.5 piece Egg, egg white, fresh

  • 200 g Powdered sugar

  • 1 spoon Juice, lemon

piškoti

  • 150 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 125 g Butter, unsalted

  • 100 g Sugar, brown

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, ginger, ground

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, caraway, seeds

  • 0.5 teaspoons Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 20 g Nuts, almonds

Steps

  1. Prepare the cookies using the ingredients from the recipe for spiced speculaas cookies. Instead of sliced almonds, use ground almonds. Let the baked cookies cool completely.

  2. Prepare a thick sugar glaze: in a bowl, mix egg white, sugar, and lemon juice. Arrange one-third of the cookies on the work surface and place a chocolate praline in the center of each cookie using the glaze. Spread the glaze on the longer sides of the cookies and place two more cookies on top of each base cookie to form the roof (see picture). Glue the roof cookies together with the glaze. Hold the cookies until the sugar glaze hardens. Cover the bowl with the glaze when not in use to prevent it from hardening.

  3. Once all the houses are assembled, start decorating. Decorate the roofs with glaze and attach candies as shingles. Place gumdrop Christmas figures as residents inside the houses, and stick candy star bursts on top of the roofs.

  4. Wait for the houses and decorations to fully harden. Serve the prepared houses, use them for decoration, or give them as gifts.
