Lebkuchen Backmischung, 500 g

Freshly baked Gingerbread is as much a part of Christmas as Candles and the scent of fir trees. In Switzerland, Gingerbread is not only a Christmas classic – it also accompanies St. Nicholas Day on 6 December as a home-baked gift, as festive table decoration, or as a Gingerbread house that makes children's eyes light up. The Gingerbread baking mix from FunCakes makes the preparation of Gingerbread houses, classic Gingerbread and Gingerbread biscuits simple and reliable – with the typical ginger-cinnamon Liquid aroma that fills the entire kitchen while baking. The mix is based on a traditional American recipe and already contains all the dry ingredients in the correct proportions. Simply add 1 egg, 60 g butter and 60 ml water – and the aromatic Gingerbread dough is ready. Firm, shape-stable and ideal for rolling out and cutting.

Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C). Knead the 500 g baking mix with 1 egg (50 g), 60 g butter and 60 ml water into a firm, smooth dough. Allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour – this makes the dough easier to roll out and cut. Roll out on a floured work surface to approx. 3 mm thickness, cut out with any cutters of your choice and bake for approx. 12 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before decorating. For classic Gingerbread and Gingerbread biscuits, use any cutters you like – stars, fir trees, Gingerbread men or other Christmas motifs – and after baking, paint and decorate freely with Royal icing, icing or Cake icing. Edible Glitter, Sugar pearls and Sprinkle decor add further finishing touches. For a Gingerbread house, cut out the individual house pieces, bake, allow to cool and glue together with Royal icing. Decorate with icing sugar as snow, Sugar decoration and edible Glitter – and your atmospheric Christmas decoration is complete. 

Gingerbread houses that adorn the festive table. Classic Gingerbread for St. Nicholas Day, lovingly wrapped and given as gifts. Gingerbread biscuits in the shape of stars, fir trees and bells, gleaming on the Christmas plate. It all starts with the right dough – and the Gingerbread baking mix from FunCakes provides it. Add egg, butter and water, knead, chill, roll out, cut, bake – and once cooled, decorate with Royal icing, icing or edible decorations. The result: golden-brown, aromatic Gingerbread with the typical ginger-cinnamon fragrance that is unmistakably reminiscent of Christmas. Easy to handle, impressive in its results – for Gingerbread houses, classic Gingerbread and Gingerbread biscuits. That is all you need for a piece of home-made Christmas.
