OK now that's out of the way...
As Christmas is basically finished, I have reached the point in which proper work is supposed to be done to prepare exams coming up but I am just not feeling it, so I am trying to cling on to any thread of Christmas that I can. If I am still doing festive things it is still Christmas and I don't have to work... shh... It is the truth.
So I decided to build a gingerbread house with my brother...
I used Mary Berry's Recipe as I have never done this before and the quantities are TOO big to make one of my own...
And we began and it seemed to be going fine, after a slight hiccup about measurements, the dough was coming together. But then when we tried to roll out the dough it wouldn't stick together.
We tried everything, and I mean everything, we added milk, water, butter, but nothing worked... HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?! Seriously I want to know, so any ideas leave in the comments below!
Instead of throwing about a kilo of mixture away, we salvaged it and made millions of ginger biscuits. We even put crushed boiled sweets in holes in the middle of them, to make them like stained glass, oooooooh. Well fancy, I know.
I don't have a picture of them because they are just not pretty but they look like iced biscuits and they taste lovely. Claps for Mary!
Anyway, I should get back to eating the mountain of biscuits as I don't want to spend the whole of 2014 living off them.
