Honey glaze for gingerbread. Homemade honey gingerbread with lemon glaze

Put honey and sugar in a large thick-walled saucepan, put on fire and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not boil! Sugar can be chopped beforehand to dissolve faster.
Add the spices and butter, turn off the heat and add the baking soda; the mass will immediately become fluffy and turn white.
Stir well with a wooden spoon.
Allow the dough to cool to body temperature (touch it with your finger so that it does not burn, but it is still warm).
Then add the egg, yolks.
Mix two types of flour, sift, add sifted cocoa, mix.
Add flour gradually, you may need more or less.
Knead the dough (be sure to knead the dough well, I first knead it in a food processor, and then mash it with my hands 10).
The dough should be plastic, not very sticky to the table, hands, BUT not steep.
Leave the kneaded dough in a cool place for a couple of hours. it is better to leave in the refrigerator overnight. I leave it overnight, it is more convenient for me, knead in the evening, stand overnight and bake in the morning.

After the night, the dough should lie at room temperature for 2 hours, otherwise you will not be able to work with it.
Cut a lump of dough into 4 parts and roll out each part into a layer 3-5 mm thick (better than 3).
It is not necessary to dust the dough with flour, it does not stick after ripening and rolls out well.
Roll out the dough on parchment, on a baking sheet, cut out in the same molds or on a stencil so as not to transfer, not to deform.

Do not forget to immediately make holes on the gingerbread cookies if you are going to make them with ribbons.
It is convenient to make holes with a cocktail tube.
Bake in a preheated oven at a temperature of 180-200 degrees for 8-10 minutes until cooked. Do not overexpose in the oven! Otherwise, you will not get soft gingerbread, and crispy cookies. Bake the next batch for 1 minute less, do not overdry.

If after baking the gingerbread cookies are deformed (although this does not happen), then you need to put something flat on the gingerbread cookies (such as a cutting board) so that they are even, but not immediately after taking it out of the oven, but after 2-3 minutes, otherwise there will be "temper" inside, as if not baked.
During baking, the aroma is soooo at home, so you should have the willpower not to "taste" everything at once.
Once cool, put in a tin box or wrap in plastic and put away until the next day. You can decorate immediately after cooling.
Decorate with glaze. At this stage, be sure to attract the children, they will be very happy to join the creation of such gingerbread, yes, and it's just a wonderful way to have fun preparing for the holiday Well, and of course, the most beautiful and most expensive are gingerbreads painted by children !! !




Glaze preparation:
The most important thing is to prepare everything in advance, otherwise the glaze dries quickly and there will be no time to prepare it later.
The bowl for mixing the glaze must be clean, dry and free from traces of grease.
Prepare: a hand whisk, teaspoons (several, if there are different dyes), sachets (very convenient with a zip-fastener) small or paper bags, toothpicks or syringe needles, dyes (I use gel, dry ones are not suitable - not uniform are obtained by consistency and dull colors), small cups, plates, etc., paper napkin, wet napkin.
Stir the protein with a whisk until light foam.

Powder NECESSARILY sift through a fine-fine sieve, and add portions to the protein.
Stir with a whisk. It may take less powder, depending on the amount of protein. I have derived for myself the proportions of 40 grams per 250 grams of powder.
Do not make a lot of glaze at once, it is better to make half of the portion (!!!), over, stir again. It dries quickly and becomes not so beautiful.
Add lemon juice, through a sieve so that no pulp particles get into.
The consistency should be such as to hold the strip and it would hold for 7 seconds, i.e. rather thick.


Place in sachets. While placing in sachets, cover the remaining icing with a wet napkin.
You can draw with a nozzle, or you can just cut off the small tip of the bag. It's more convenient for me without a nozzle.

Put the gingerbread on a paper napkin to prevent slipping and to wipe off the toothpicks from the glaze.
We outline the contour of the gingerbread cookies, do not forget about the hole for the ribbon.


For beginners, it is more convenient not to draw a continuous line all over the gingerbread at once, but abruptly, on the sides, but at the same time so that it connects.
Draw the outline, set it to dry. The main glaze is quite thick and it dries quickly.
Now we do glaze for pouring.
Add a little water to the main glaze, drop by drop, to the desired consistency.
It should spread like condensed milk.


The fill is also convenient to apply from a bag, just make a bigger hole.
Apply the filling from the bag and then immediately stir the glaze inside with a toothpick for a better and even distribution.
In the corners, touch up with a toothpick.
It is necessary to "pour" the glaze onto the contour. With a toothpick, make circular movements along the edge, "pouring" onto the contour.
Then immediately take the gingerbread with two fingers and make sliding movements on the table so that the icing spreads evenly.
Do everything quickly, otherwise the glaze will harden and there will be an uneven surface.

If you don't have as much honey as the recipe needs, you can easily substitute sugar for it. As a result, if you do not immediately report all these listed ingredients, you will get a natural gingerbread from the store, which is also quite good.

To cook homemade honey gingerbread we need the following products:

  • Honey - 0.5 cups
  • Sugar - ¾ glass
  • Water - ¼ glass
  • Flour - 3 glass
  • Eggs - 2 pcs.
  • Egg yolk - 2 pcs.
  • Butter (or margarine) - 50g.
  • Soda - 1/4 tsp.
  • Carnation - 3 pcs.
  • Cinnamon - ¼ tsp
  • Nutmeg - 1 pinch
  • Allspice - 1 pc.
  • Coriander and cardamom - to taste (without them)

Recipe for making honey homemade gingerbread:

We take a saucepan, put honey, sugar and fill it with water. We put it on little fire... You do not need to boil this sugar mixture, you just need to warm it all up thoroughly until the listed ingredients are dissolved. When everything is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat, sift 1 cup of flour and pour it into this mixture. It is better to add flour gradually, stirring constantly, to prevent the formation of lumps.

Now we wait until the dough cools down to room temperature. Then add eggs, butter (warm), baking soda, and 1 more glass of flour. You also need to add spices crushed into dust: cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, coriander and cardamom. Yes, the dough turns out to be quite spicy, but that's what we need, it's not for nothing that the gingerbreads were named that way, that's why they are gingerbread.

Knead the dough. At the moment, we will knead with our hands, although it is completely difficult, the dough is very sticky and viscous like clay, but it should be so. Gradually add 1 more glass of flour. The dough should be like plasticine. If you try to mold something out of it and it retains its shape, then there is already enough flour, if it still does not hold its shape, then we add more. The main thing is not to overdo it with flour, otherwise our honey cakes will be harsh. The quality of honey is also of great importance.

Especially aromatic are obtained homemade honey gingerbread from mustard honey, in addition to the aroma, they also give them an attractive color. If you only have light honey, you can tint it, although this is absolutely not necessary, but if the color still matters to you, then put sugar (1 tablespoon) on the pan, heat it until dark, then dissolve in a small amount of water and dissolve in honey.

We begin to roll out the dough. To do this, sprinkle the table with flour, lay out a part of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin, but not thinly (about 2 centimeters) and cut out different figures using molds. If you want to give the shape of store-bought gingerbread, then blind the balls and flatten them on one side.

Now you need to grease our honey cakes with egg yolk and send them to the oven, preheated to 200 0 C for 20 or 30 minutes. The baking time depends on the size of the gingerbread, so periodically check their readiness with a toothpick.

A few more different tricks. In the dough, in addition to the listed spices, you can also put lemon zest, ground nuts, raisins, vanillin and it would not be bad yet ready-made homemade honey gingerbread grease sugar glaze- so it will be more beautiful and will be stored longer.

It is very simple to prepare such a glaze: dissolve a tablespoon (or more) of powdered sugar in a tablespoon of water, and as soon as you get the gingerbread out of the oven, immediately grease them with this mixture.

You can grease with jam, but not immediately after the oven, but a little later, when it has cooled down a little, but not completely. Jam is well absorbed by warm gingerbread. The same goes for melted chocolate, of course.

  • 75 g sugar;
  • 75 g margarine or butter;
  • Half a teaspoon of baking soda or 2 teaspoons of baking powder;
  • Vanillin, cinnamon, cloves to taste;
  • One chicken egg.

We put the pan on a low heat. We add our ingredients in the following sequence. First honey, then butter, sugar and spices. The entire contents of the container must be stirred regularly. Better to use butter instead of margarine. Especially when it comes to children's gingerbread. Sprinkle spices in small quantities. This will achieve a subtle, spicy and delicate aroma. Once all the ingredients have melted and turned into homogeneous mass, you can remove them from the burner. The main thing is not to bring it to a boil. Otherwise, healthy honey will lose all its vitamins.

We also send the egg and the cooled honey mixture here. We mix all the components very thoroughly. The main thing is not to form lumps that can spoil the taste and quality of honey aromatic gingerbread.

Once the dough is kneaded, it must be covered cling film or a lid. We send the blank for the gingerbread to the refrigerator. It is best to let the dough stand in a cold place for at least a couple of hours. For those who cannot wait, take out the dough no earlier than after 30 minutes.

This amount of dough should make one baking sheet. Baking time approx. 10 minutes. The cooking process must be closely monitored. After all, the power and performance of the equipment is different for everyone. Accordingly, the baking time may vary. Honey gingerbread cookies can be decorated with icing and other decorative but edible items.

Honey gingerbread on kefir

This recipe is one of the easiest. Even a novice hostess can cope with its implementation. For cooking, you will need the following components:

  • 300 ml of kefir of any fat content;
  • Two chicken eggs... One protein will be spent on making the fondant;
  • 100 grams of butter. Can be substituted with margarine;
  • 250 grams of granulated sugar. Of these, 50 g will be needed for fondant;
  • 50 ml of honey;
  • A pinch of salt;
  • A teaspoon of baking soda, slaked with vinegar;
  • Two and a half glasses of premium wheat flour.

First you need to separate the white from one egg and set it aside for a while. We have already said that we will need it in the process of making fondant. Remaining chicken yolk and we beat another egg until foam forms. At the same time, gradually add sugar (200 gr).

Next, add kefir and two tablespoons of honey to the beaten eggs. Pre-etch butter or margarine to a liquid consistency and also send it to the rest of the ingredients. It remains to add a little salt and soda quenched with vinegar. The final step will be the addition of flour. First, it must be sieved and gradually poured into a common bowl.

Mix the resulting mass thoroughly and intensively until a homogeneous dough consistency is formed. Pay special attention to the amount of flour added. If there is too much of it, then the dough will turn out to be tight and not elastic. Therefore, you do not need to pour out all the flour. In the process of kneading the dough, leave 20% of the flour, which is better to add as you prepare the dough. Of course, if necessary.

This dough does not need refrigeration. Therefore, immediately after its preparation, you can begin to shape our honey cakes. Roll out the dough about 0.5 cm thick. The layer should be evenly rolled out. Using a glass or pastry molds, we cut out the gingerbread. We send gingerbread blanks to a preheated oven up to 170-175 degrees. Cover baking sheet parchment paper... If this is not possible, then simply grease the surface of the mold with a creamy or vegetable oil... The approximate cooking time is 20-25 minutes. As soon as you see that the gingerbread cookies have risen and become ruddy, you can get them out of the oven.

While the gingerbread cookies are being baked, we need to perform one more process - to prepare the fondant. We will smear on top with this sweet mixture honey baked goods... Beat the protein with sugar until a thick and white mass is formed. In order for the protein to be whipped in the best quality, you first need to add a little salt. Make sure that there is not a drop of water on the whisk or container in which the whites are whipped. Otherwise, the protein simply won't rise.

5-7 minutes before the end of the preparation of the gingerbread, they need to be removed from the oven. Using a special pastry brush or a regular spoon, grease the baking surface with protein glaze. Try to make sure that the cooked protein mass is enough for all the gingerbread cookies. Then place the baking sheet in the oven for another five minutes. That's it, our honey cakes with kefir are ready. Pleasant aroma and incredible delicate taste dessert is provided.
