GINGERBREAD Biscotti 
The preparation for Christmas has begun!
All the ingredients are in their seats ready to use!
The dishes are sparkling clean and ready to use ... it seems to be in the enchanted castle of the Beast!
Unfortunately there are no clocks and candelabra with me talking, but who knows ... with the magic of Christmas, everything is possible!
The first will be to prepare the famous dessert, the only, the charismatic : Gingerman! ^ ^
How can you know?
But what you say! Of course I know ... otherwise it means that you have never seen Shrek! Yes! The legendary saga of Gingy's Dreamworks is none other than the cookie Gingerman!
said that as far as possible I tried to stick to the plan dell'omino bun Shrek! The Formina I bought has some different features than the protagonist of the cartoon, but at the moment I only found this form truthfully that I like! ^ ^
So let's do the magic begins!
Gingerbread Recipe:
350 gr. flour 00
160 gr. sugar
150 gr. butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda shaved very
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves powder
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
4 / 5 tablespoons of honey
a sprinkle of nutmeg
a pinch of salt
2 teaspoons ginger
For the frosting:
250 gr. icing sugar
1 whipped egg white
a dash of lemon
food coloring
It starts with the work the butter and sugar together until creamy!
You add the egg and then gradually the flour stirring all! Once the base compound was well mixed add the baking soda, spices and other ingredients!
then Place the dough in cling film comprises forming a ball and place in the refrigerator!
One thing is very important to to make the dough for a whole night in the fridge! When you pull out for work all the quick help with the flour because it is a very sticky dough!
cooking in the oven shall not exceed 15 minutes at 150 degrees! Bake in the oven when the oven is already hot!
before decorating our cookies with frosting let them cool!
This time the photos over to Gingerman will also find gingertree! ^ ^
We hope that these cookies are a welcome gift for my friends far away ... instead of the usual greeting card I preferred the more sweet!
that it's okay, right? ;-)
last information I have tried to use all organic products, especially spices. I'm pretty accurate on these things because I want to use good products. The red dye for the frosting that I bought contains even the agar agar and not the usual canned fish, so it's good for vegetarians!
Now all that remains is to pack biscuits and hope that the Italian post office deliver the package intact! ^ ^
