Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 Gingerbread spice pack (In Germany, they provide a pre-mixed spice pack just for Gingerbread, somewhat similar to our Pumpkin Pie Spice)
  • **If you don't have the pre-mixed spice pack: 1 tsp. allspice, 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tsp clove.
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3 1/2 cups flour

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the sugar honey and spices in a saucepan stirring occasionally. Do not let the honey boil. If it boils, the flavor and aroma will disappear!

Step 2

Remove from heat.
First, stir in the baking soda (it will foam) and adding the margarine until melted. Stir in the egg and finally the flour.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface until combined.

Step 4

Roll out the dough, cut out cookies, or design your own gingerbread house!

Bake: 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes.
