GINGERBREAD HOUSE RECIPE
Ingredients
1 Stick | ½ Cup | 113g Butter
¾ Cup | 250g Golden Syrup, Molasses or Corn Syrup
4 tsp Ground Ginger
4 tsp Cinnamon
1¼ Cups | 250g Brown Sugar
6½ Cups | 810g Flour
1¼ Cups | 310ml Milk
2 Egg Whites
4 Cups | 500g Icing Sugar or Powdered Sugar
Instructions
In a small saucepan add the butter, molasses (or golden syrup or corn syrup), ground ginger, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the butter has melted.
In a large mixing bowl measure out the flour. Pour the melted butter mixture into the bowl as well as the milk.
Using a wooden spoon or electric mixer mix until you have a combined dough. Cover the bowl and place into the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight to firm up.
Roll out the gingerbread dough between 2 sheets of nonstick paper until it is 1cm or ½ inch thick. Using the templates cut out the gingerbread house pieces.
Bake the house pieces in a 180C|350F oven for 15-20 minutes or until browned. Leave to cool completely before trying to assemble.
To make the royal icing add the egg whites and icing sugar or powdered sugar to a medium sized bowl. Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, mix the ingredients together for 5-8 minutes until it is thick and bright white. Cover well to prevent drying out.
Decorate the gingerbread house pieces using a piping bag filled with the royal icing. Leave the pieces to dry for at least 6 hours or overnight before trying to assemble the house.
To assemble the house use a cake board or chopping board. Pipe the edges of the front, back and sides with the royal icing. Stick the pieces together, using a glass or mug for support. Leave the bottom of the house to dry for at least 4 hours before adding the roof.
Pipe the edges of the roof pieces with the icing and place on the top of the house, using glasses or mugs for support until it has dried. Pipe the bottom of the chimney pieces and stick them to the top of the house, followed by the side pieces. Pipe the bottom and side of the door to stick down, leaving it as opened or closed as you want. Leave the house to completely dry overnight.
Decorate the outside of the house using gingerbread men or trees or cinnamon sticks to look like wood. For a snow appearance use any leftover royal icing and spread it over the base outside the house. Once dry dust the whole house with icing sugar or powdered sugar.

I would love to see a picture if you make this Gingerbread House! Tag me on Instagram here instagram.com/recipesbycarina/
I'll be trying this recipe to make a gingerbread tardis :D can't wait xx thank you so much for the recipe!
aitannaa You're very welcome 😊
Recipes by Carina can i half this recipe? And can i use homemade molasses? Please reply!
Thank you for the print out I have made my house! Awesome shape I love it so much x
Not good recipe
A really good tip when cutting out the windows, door etc is to make the cut but leave it them in place when you bake it to prevent the structure expanding, giving you wonky shapes . You then just re cut the shapes (which are really obvious and easy to cut)
What a tip! Thanks 🙏🏻
Did u get this from tasty?
@@plink1705 Brüno Albouze! Check out his channel. 100% my favourite RUclipsr
pozdro wszystkich od Pateca 🤠✨

I’ve never seen such a beautiful gingerbread house.
Ikr
True! I've seen so many tacky ones but this one is cute and tasteful.
Yes
I just finished mine! Like some other folks, I had to add a bit more milk because the dough was dry. Also, if I do this again, I won't put the dough in the fridge before rolling and cutting, as that made it *really* stiff. My arm muscles got a great workout.
The template worked quite well! I had a feeling that I'd need more royal icing than the recipe called for so I made extra and was glad: I did need it. If this helps anyone else who, like me, doesn't have a piping bag and tips, a 25cc feeding syring (used to feed sick animals) works quite well as a substitute. It doesn't give you the same precision, but it works.
So you rolled it as soon as it was kneaded?
Very useful, thanks 👌🏻
I love ur recipe! It's simple not as hard as other recipes and looks great! Thank u for sharing your recipe on how to make a ginger bread house .
This gingerbread house is simply adorable! I fell in love. I am also loving your channel and your cooking style. 💕
Thank you so much!
Golden syrup makes the best tasting gingerbread, in my opinion. The flavour doesn’t compete with the spices as molasses does. Once I started making my gingerbread dough with golden syrup, I noticed the kids in my family started really enjoying it.
i love this house so much! I am making my own gingerbread house using this recipe right now.
I would love to see a picture!
We have been making only this one every year, probably for five years now, very happy with it, it is our family tradition. 😊❤
Just found your channel! Love it! I can’t believe that I haven’t come across it before! I have been searching blogs and RUclips, for as long as I can remember, for recipes and creative idea for cooking and your blog and channel would have been a great addition! Well, time to enjoy your channel now! I will definitely be binging with Carina! 💥
This is the most effective and informative video ever. Thank you. You made sure EVERYONE could make the gingerbread. ❤️♥️🔥👌🎄🙃🙏
Carina! This is uncanny! We are having a baking comp for a Gingerbread House at work and I've been nominated to make an entry. I spent about half an hour this afternoon looking up how to do it but here you are with the instructions and all! Thanks so much! xx
You're very welcome! I hope this is helpful 😊
every parent should have their kids do a gingerbread house during the holidays, it is a wonderful to create and bond the whole family!
It could cause a homicide. It is so complicated to do. Just buy one and eat it together lol.
yerrr go kiwis!!!!
also it is a very pretty gingerbread house, that is nice and simple.
Trying this! It’s my first time ever making gingerbread, let alone a gingerbread house (from scratch) so I figured I’d write my journey here.
Day 1! So I made the dough....OUCH. It was really dry by the time I finished so I added more milk. Then I thought it was too wet so I added more flour. Then I added more milk and got a pretty good consistency. Until the end, I couldn’t use my spoon, I had to use my hand. Other than that, it’s good. I put it in the fridge and I’ll update this tomorrow, the day of baking and decorating!
Day 2! Also the last day!
*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Rolling and cutting the dough took four hours, baking took one, rebaking any uncooked took another hour, decorations took an hour, and assembling...oh, assembling. I decided to do stained glass windows out of jolly ranchers and one wall broke so we had to hot glue it an reinforce it with popsical sticks. I broke another wall...popsical sticks. One of the roof things was uncooked...cardboard and popsical sticks. I tried using frosting but gave up and cheated with hot glue. It took an hour to put the house together, but it looked great! I put lights inside and it looked beautiful. I decorated just like the video. Even though it was a ton of work and there were a lot of frustrating parts, it came out amazing! For my first time making gingerbread from scratch, I’m extremely impressed with myself.
Thank you for the recipe!!!!!!
Doing this rn and my dough is exactly like yours😖😖 I think I’m going to add more milk
I just made the dough and it's in the fridge cooling. Pray for me.
j/k
Omg what a journey! So glad it turned out for you 😊
This was so satisfying 😌 thank you!!!
I appreciate your recipe, I saw someone did it the melted butter method and I found it very interesting I'm gonna try it I'll tell you his it turns out. Thank you Carina
The whole video is a masterpiece! The filming, editing plus sound!! I think I found one of the most aesthetic youtuber ever
Thank you so much!
Love your videos! Very informative and simple! Thanks for the recipe! ❤💖✨
This is an excellent gingerbread house presentation or tutorial, thank you very much for an excellent jpb. God bless you.
I love it! Will be making it this Christmas! Thank you for the beautifull video!
You're very welcome 😊
Love this simple recipe and informative instructions.
And I have picked up great tips .
I just had a look at your other RUclips videos- they all look like great and delicious recipes - I just don’t know where to get started
Looks awesome! Appreciate the hard work put into making this beautiful gingerbread house. 😍💗
It was a lot of work but so worth it in the end 😊
I love this, thank you so much
Thank you. This is so helpful and simple. What I was looking for. 🥰🥳
awesome can't wait to try it out
You made it look so easy! The big takeaway is take your time and let the icing dry completely between steps.
Tyvm l can't wait to make one!!
Beautiful!
Ive never made one but maybe i'll give it a go this year. Looks like fun thank u
Great video!! Thank you!
Thank 🙏you for sharing your recipe. İ have always wanted to recreate this Christmas yuletide treat as a family affair. What a great way to cherish new memories during this Covid holiday seawon.
Hi thankyou for lovely reciepie just finished with my first attempt and it turned out lovely
COOL!!!
That looks pretty impressive! I'm sure if you'll put this on your Christmas table it'll be an eye catcher, love it
You can eat it but I love to leave it as decoration up until Christmas 😊
Thank you so much! This recipe couldn’t have worked any better. I had trouble with the royal icing so I just used hot glue but everyhting assembled well and for my second time making a homemade gingerbread house, it turned out so much better than I thoguth. Thank you so much!
Try melted sugar, it works like hot glue but it's edible 🎉
@@jaanal2644 I would but like melted sugar is a bit harder to work with, maybe next time if I make this again thanks for the suggestion!
An excellent video - thank you.
I know a Kiwi accent when I hear one! This was so helpful for a first time gingerbread-houser! (if that’s even a thing)
Also, just a question - I have heard that some doughs are just for the structural stability of the house, and they aren’t recommended for eating. Is this mixture still edible, even if it is a harder dough?
this is awsome!!!!!!!!!!
so amazing!!!
Sooo beautiful!!
oh my gosh this is magical.....
I hope you try it out 😊
Thank you so much for this recipe 😁
The house is very beautiful 😊
You are very welcome 😊
Watching you cook and bake is so pleasing for some reason

Beautiful tutorial, thank you. I plan on making one this week as a practice - just need to grab a few more ingredients. Love that. your are from New Zealand and mention the difference in ingredients from overseas options!!
Will definitely use this recipe for my ginger bread house! Gonna start it this Thursday so that it’s completely ready for Monday lol

Recipes by Carina I’ll tag you on Instagram when I finish building it tonight! :-)
I love how she lists different options as she talks!!! Super helpful!!
Great tips, thank you. I just discovered a lifesaving (or gingerbreadsaving) tip: If/when your pieces come out uneven, and aren't fitting together perfectly, use the superfine side on a box grater to even them out.
That's a great tip!
Excellent marvelous fantastic..beautiful...
Let me run to find more words to describe...
U r just amazing
Thank you so much 😊
Love this video😊
I love your ginger bread house

Such a well done video!!!

The editing, background and your voice. I'm literally mad at myself for not discovering your channel until now.
This gingerbread house is so classic! I really like the fact that it's not covered in different kinds of colors and candy. This is definitely my favorite style of gingerbread houses. ❤️
OMG THAT HOUSE IS SO CUTE!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much!

They're multi purpose, you can eat them or use them as decoration! Merry Christmas to you too!

You're the best
This looks so pretty well done 👍
Thank you so much, I hope you try the recipe!
Wow amazing, thankyou.
You're very welcome 😊
Hi ms. Carina. Can I have the ingredients list for the gingerbread house. Thank you
Hi Carina! Thank you so much for the recipe! I never baked a ginger cookies before. I just want to know is it normal for the cookies is hard? I mean the cookie is not soft or crunchy, its compact and hard. Is it normal?
Wonderful work! Thanks for the video. I'm making a gingerbread house this year ❤️ just a question, what can I do to prevent the dough from raising in the oven? I thought since it didn't have any baking powder it wouldn't raise but it did anyway😂 and I'm getting kind of frustrated, help me please🥺
Yes
Aw this looks so cute! Considering it for Christmas 🎄
I would love to see a picture if you do make it 😊
very nice.
Thank you so much!
I Love 💙 How Is Cute and LoVely 🌬️🌨️❄️☃️. Thank You Very Much that You Share with Us . ✨🌟✨😃😁
You're very welcome 😊 I hope you give it a try!
@@recipesbycarina Yes 😄👍👌 With a Pleasure 💙💝
nice my friend
Great job
Merry Christmas
hey, this looks amazing I really want to try it out but I was wondering how you stored the royal icing for all these days without it hardening?
Hi! In the fridge, with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the icing so it wouldn't dvelop a skin and harden. This works for up to a week 😊
Recipes by Carina thanks a lot! can't wait to try it out :)
Really nice
Thank you!
This is the most stunning gingerbread house I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the recipe Carina tried one from a book it wasn’t stable enough so made Xmas tree cookies instead will be trying yours now xx
Thank you so much! I would love to see a picture if you do 😊
Where is the printable template?

Can i substitute the plastic wrap or do i need to go out and buy plastic wrap?
a labor of love for sure! would love to make something like this with my boys but I dont think they will have the patience to wait 3 overnights lol
It does take a while, maybe make the pieces beforehand and assemble it together?
واو حلو🥺❤️
I wish make gingerbread house this christmas day
Now I am in the middle of the proccess,I am waiting for the pastry to chill and I am thinking not to waste time and cut a paper in the shape of the house,but I dont know the size of the walls and roof,can you please help me, I adore this recipe! 😍
I love her accent ♥️♥️
I don't get that often!
@@recipesbycarina where are you from?
I love your chanel😘😘😘
Hey Carina! I'm just wondering why my dough rised so much. Yours didn't seem to rise at all. I used plain flour and left the dough to rest in the freezer for 15 minutes after cutting the pieces.
Beautiful decoration and house but I found the dough extremely hard to roll, hence I got a very rustic version!
I mis this
Wow super 😊😊😊
I hope you try and make it 😊
i've seen some that say to cut pieces immediately after taking it out of the oven when it's still a little soft. i can see why. the edges will all be flat. i haven't made a house from scratch, just kits. going to give it a try this year. made gingerbread men one year. the kids like giving them different frosting outfits.
There are a few different techniques, all about finding the easiest for you!
Awesome video! Where are your spice jars from, please?!? More specifically the tiny ones 🙂
They are from my local supermarket but I'm sure you can find something similar on amazon or ebay 😊
Love this Ginger bread House girl, l know it tastes as good as it looks, keep up the amazing work.
Thank you so much! I hope you try out the recipe 😊
Wow superrr😊
Thank you!
How do you keep royal icing for later use? Doesn't it harden next day?
مین جا ي من عد کاج
Miss Carina,
Very lovely, i would put it in the center of the table and fill the rest with xmas tree cupcakes :)
That is such a great idea, I hope you try out the recipe 😊
