I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place the butter, sugar and golden syrup in the bowl and cream on sp4, 20sec.
Add the egg yolks and mix on sp4, 10sec until just combined.
Add the flour, cocoa, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Stir to bring together on sp3, for 10sec. Then set to close lid position and
"Dough mode" for about 20-30sec.
Dough will be just combined due to the large amount in the bowl. Turn out onto your bread mat and gently knead until smooth.
Divide the dough into two lots. Wrap in glad wrap and place in the fridge for 30min - 1hr to rest.
When ready, remove from fridge and roll to 1cm in thickness. Using a template cut out the parts to your gingerbread house or using a cookie cutter, cut shapes.
Place cut pieces into the freezer for 5min before baking, this will help the cookies to hold their shape.
Bake in a moderate oven for 15-20min.
Place pure icing sugar into bowl and if lumpy mill on sp9, for 10sec.
Insert butterfly and add egg whites and lemon juice.
Set timer for 5min and slowly turn the speed upto sp2.5 in 5sec. Then leave to finish mixing for the remainder of 5min.
Scrape down the sides and mix again on sp 2.5 for 3min. When the icing sugar is incorporated remove the MC.
Scrape down the sides and mix again on sp 2.5 for 2min.
If the peak is too soft add a little more icing sugar at sp2.5 until fully incorporated.
If the peak is too firm you can add in more egg white or a teeny bit of water, gradually, until the right consistency is reached.
I use a No 10 piping tip to pipe on the joins of the GBH. Then I used a No 1 or No 2 to pipe the intricate details.

This was delicious. Family loved it on Christmas day. I had a little left over dough so made some cookies they did not last long. Will do this every year from now on.
