What does gingerbread man do?

The tradition of making gingerbread man at Christmas is said to have originated from the whim of Queen Elizabeth I, who ordered the pastry chef to make gingerbread into the appearance of a guest. However, many people believe that the popularity of gingerbread man comes from two lovers separated by war, who are worried that the other party will not find themselves when they are old. They sell other gingerbread man materials in their village: butter 100g, sugar 100g, measuring cup of brown sugar gum 1 4 (honey can also be used instead), egg yolk1,flour 250g, baking powder 1/2 teaspoons. Sugar decoration: sugar 1/2 measuring cup, egg white 1, tartar powder 1/4 teaspoon (lemon juice or white vinegar can be used instead). Cost: The making process takes about 30-45 minutes, but the time of cooling the dough in the refrigerator after making is also included. If there are 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. Buy: In Hong Kong food supermarkets such as CitySuper or Taste, there are special seasonings for making gingerbread. In addition to 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 earn 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.
