Gingerbreads are the cookies that cannot be missing at Christmas, I leave you a simple recipe, gluten-free together with an easy-to-make icing. I show you gingerbreads with the simplest decorations for non-experts.
With these doses I got 8 big men and 24 small men.
Family💚 I love the scent of these biscuits, a little less the shape when it's time to eat them! With Anna and Marco we decorated them with some colored icing, having a lot of fun!
The glaze is made with sugar icing and hot water to be added a little at a time until you get the right consistency, that is, not too dense that it is difficult to manage with a few sachs, but not too liquid with the risk that the decorations won't hold.
You can add some to the glaze food coloring (which must always bear the words "gluten free"). You can add it gradually in drops until you reach the desired color.
ATTENTION: if you add a water-based dye, the icing becomes a little more liquid, so you have to start with a denser mixture or add icing sugar after the dye.
Once you have a glaze of the right consistency as you see in the video, it will be very easy to put it in the sac a pochè and give space to the imagination.
I used disposable plastic sach a poche (even if they are easily washable, if you use water-based dyes) the only precautions, apart from the consistency of the icing, are: make a small hole in the sac a poche, do some tests on parchment paper if you want to "warm your hand a little", do not make decorations too complicated at the beginning.
For the big little mistakes, you can still remove or fix the frosting with a toothpick.
The biscuits must not harden completely during cooking! After the time I indicate in the recipe you can check with a spatula, lifting them to see if they are firm and golden at the base.
