Step by Step guide

Step 1

Heat honey, sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the sugar dissolves. The mixture should not boil, just warm up. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2

Mix flour and baking powder with the honey mixture, vanilla, cloves, ginger, egg, and cocoa. Knead until smooth, roll into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1.5–2 hours.

Step 3

Take portions from the refrigerator, roll out, and cut out shapes using a paper template or cookie cutter. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15–20 minutes at 356°F. Let cool.

Step 4

Whip the egg white until foamy, gradually adding powdered sugar while whipping. When the mixture reaches a thick creamy consistency, add lemon juice. You can add food coloring to part of the icing. Decorate the gingerbread.
