Gingerbread Dough Master Recipe

By Dustin

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup Brer Rabbit Molasses
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tbsp shortening, softened
• 3 tbsp water, cold

Preparation

Step 1

Stir flour, pie spice, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl. Set aside. Mix molasses, sugar and shortening together in large bowl. Mix in water (mixture may curdle). Mix in flour mixture.

Form into disk shape, wrap in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees. On a well-floured surface, roll out dough in 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick pieces. Cut into desired shapes. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake 10-14 minutes, or until gingerbread is firm in the center but not browning on the edges. Assemble using royal icing and decorate as desired.

Makes one small gingerbread house or one 10-inch sleigh.
