RECIPE: Gingerbread House

18 years ago

Funny each year there's always gingerbread houses in all the magazines, but this year I couldn't find any. Anyone know where I can find a pattern for a small gingerbread house? I've made the same one for 25 years, but it's large and a lot of work. I'd like to make a small, simple house for my little granddaughter. Not the small graham cracker type. A real gingerbread house. Googled around with no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Jane

Any gingerbread house is too complicated for me to make but the pattern here looks simple. I assume you can make the template any size you'd like.

Here is a link that might be useful: Gingerbread House

Thank you Ginger:
I'm just so bad at free hand drawing and even worse at figuring out how much dough for a certain size. I may just go back to my old one. It's just so much work.
Thanks again,
Jane
