2 eggs beaten
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons ginger
1 1/4 cups molasses
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup solid white shortening
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons water
Equipment:
sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:
Thoroughly mix together the flour, soda, salt and spices.In a saucepan melt the shortening. Let cool slightly and add the sugar and molasses. Add eggs when cool.Add the oil mixture to your mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment. Add 4 cups of the flour. Mix together thoroughly. Add remaining flour a little at a time to make a stiff dough.Roll out the dough on the back of greased cookie sheets to about 1/8th inch thick. Lay your pattern pieces on top and cut out with a knife or pizza cutter. Place cookie sheets in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 6 minutes for smaller pieces and up to 12 for the larger pieces like the roof. Let set on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Let pieces dry overnight before assembling.Beat all ingredients at low speed for 7-10 minutes (10-12 minutes at high speed for portable mixer) until icing forms peaks. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth when not in use.Note: Royal icing should have good body and be moderately stiff: It will not create a lasting bond if too runny and soft. For snow, I sometimes add a few drops of Karo Syrup to thin it just a little for a softer look.
