1. Stage
Combine the honey, butter and sugar in a saucepan. Place on low heat and bring to a boil, stirring. The sugar should be dissolved.
2. Stage
Remove the mass from the fire, let it cool to body temperature. Add spices and stir.
3. Stage
Beat the eggs until fluffy.
4. Stage
Combine the two mixtures, kneading vigorously.
5. Stage
Add the sifted flour, mixed with baking soda beforehand.
6. Stage
Knead the dough.
7. Stage
Let the dough rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature, in a bag. Then roll out the dough, at once on baking paper, 0.5 cm thick. We cut out the details of the house from the dough. They must be prepared in advance from paper. Roof-2 parts Side walls-2 parts Front and rear-1 door-1 Stand-circle-1. Bake until golden from 5 to 10 minutes at 180 degrees. Preheat the oven. Allow the finished pieces to cool slightly and remove from the baking paper while still warm. Leave to cool completely.
8. Stage
Prepare the icing. Beat the chilled egg whites with the powder on low speed for 5 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and beat for another minute.
9. Stage
Decorate the details of the house with icing, leave it to dry. Assemble the box. Dusting the seams of the house and letting it dry. Only after that we put the roof. I baked a base for the roof with two holes in each. To use the braid to connect the two parts. The roof with icing is heavy and you need to make an effort not to "move"). If there is not enough icing, mix a new portion. From the remaining dough you can bake gingerbread or cookies and fill the house with them. Happy Holidays, everyone!
