Stubbs Family Gingerbread House Recipe
- 1 1/2 cups margarine
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups molasses
- 8-10 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 tsp. cinnamon
- 3 tsp. baking soda
- 3 tsp. ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3/4 tsp. cloves
- 1 cup water
Cream Margarine and sugar together in your mixing bowl. Add molasses. In a separate bowl combine all your dry ingredients. Mix well with wire whisk.
Alternate dry ingredients with water. Roll dough out on parchment paper. Lay pattern down and cut out with sharp Exacto knife. Transfer pieces on parchment onto baking tray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Let cool.
Glue house together with liquid sugar. To make liquid sugar place 2 cups of sugar in a skillet over medium/high heat. Stir continuously until golden in color. Lay house pieces on tin foil sprayed with pam cooking spray. Spoon melted sugar into the windows. It will set quickly.
Stick your house together using the remaining liquid sugar by dipping the edges into the HOT liquid sugar and "gluing" them together. CAUTION: The liquid sugar is VERY hot. Be careful!
