The British legend about the tradition of making gingerbread man at Christmas is said to have originated from a whim of Queen Elizabeth I who ordered pastry chefs to make gingerbread into guests. However, many people believe that the popularity of gingerbread man comes from a pair of lovers separated by war, who are worried that the other party will not find themselves when they get old. They sell gingerbread man materials of the other side in their own villages: butter 1 00g, sugar 1 00g, brown sugar gum (which can also be replaced by honey) 1/4 measuring cup, egg yolk1only, 250g of flour, and baking powder1/. Sugar decoration: white sugar 1/2 measuring cup, egg white 1 only, other powder 1/4 teaspoon (lemon juice or white vinegar can be used instead) DIY TIPS cost: the making process takes about 30-45 minutes, but the dough needs to be put in the refrigerator 1 hour after it is made. If you have materials such as dried ginger powder and cinnamon powder at home, because the dosage is not much, it only costs more than ten yuan to make half a catty of cakes. Purchase: In Hong Kong food supermarkets like CitySuper or Taste, there are special seasonings for making gingerbread. Besides dried ginger powder and cinnamon powder, there are other complex spice ingredients, which enrich the flavor level. It is also recommended to choose them. You can make ten pounds and eight pounds by buying a small bag. Otherwise, you can buy seasonings in supermarkets such as Jusco and Carrefour in Guangzhou and mix them yourself.
