Homemade Christmas gingerbread - gingerbread made of maturing Old Polish gingerbread dough
In early November, I prepared two portions of cakes for old Polish maturing gingerbread. After a month of maturing, I decided to prepare gingerbread from one part. My niece Hania came to my aid, so it was a lot of fun.

As a reminder, here's the cake recipe:
INGREDIENTS
- 500 g of honey
- 250 g of sugar
- 250g of butter
- 1 kg of flour, e.g. type 550
- 3 eggs
- 125 ml of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 3 teaspoons of soda
- 30 - 40 g spices for gingerbread -preferably homemade li>
EXECUTION
- Heat the honey, sugar and butter in a slow cooker.
- Stir all the time, and when the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool down.
- Sift flour, soda and gingerbread spice into a bowl, add salt and mix.
- Whip the eggs with the cooled mass of honey, butter and sugar, preferably in makurze, because the mixer after adding flour may turn out to be too weak.
- Slowly add the flour with soda and gingerbread spice, gradually pour in the milk while whipping.
- The finished dough is either left in the wastepaper or put into a jar or a stoneware pot.
- Cover with a cloth and leave in a cool place for 5 - 6 weeks.
- Roll out the ripe dough on a lightly floured board or countertop to a thickness of about 3 mm.
- Cut out hearts, Christmas trees, gifts, gingerbread men from the dough... and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
- Bake for 10 - 12 minutes at 170°C.
- We store ready-made cookies in a closed container, they look nice in a metal Christmas can.
- We can glaze gingerbread cookies, cover them with chocolate, decorate them with various sprinkles.
