Hello dear friends, photo lovers!
On Christmas Eve, the whole family sat down to make gingerbread cookies. It's a family tradition. Everyone takes part in it: my wife, my children, and even a little bit of me. Well, my role, to be honest, is quite small. Basically it's just not to get in the way of others. But at the very end, take a picture of everything that happened. That's why I don't even delve into the gingerbread recipe. I know that my favorite honey and grated ginger with cinnamon go into them.
Gingerbread is shot in two modes - normal and macro. In macro mode, I'll make a separate post, and today I'm posting regular photos.
First, the dough is prepared. Previously, his wife rolled it out very thinly and the gingerbread was a little hard. But since last year, she has been making them thicker and their softness persists for a long time.
At this stage, everyone is just watching his wife's work. Then the children cut out shapes from cardboard for future gingerbread. Their imagination is at work here, they come up with various plots.
But among this abundance there are already traditional forms. For example, it's a Christmas tree or a boot, or a gift. But they always add something new anyway.
But what about without a new one? Then the gingerbread is sent to the oven for baking. It is impossible to place everything at once. Therefore, they are baked in batches.
At this stage, the main thing is not to overdo it so that the gingerbread does not burn. They have to be looked after. the most difficult thing in this process is to wait.
But fortunately, there is something else to do during this time. It is necessary to prepare a cream for decorating gingerbread.
The cream is whipped with a mixer. This process is very much loved by children. They constantly ask to be given a mixer to hold it in their hands. So the cream is their concern.
When the first batch is ready, they begin to paint it with cream. To do this, something like a cooking syringe is made from an ordinary package. The wife is responsible for this stage.
Then it remains only to decorate the gingerbread with colorful sweet balls. And the gingerbread is ready.
Enjoy your meal! Merry Christmas!
