Christmas is about sharing, and the best part of baking is tasting. That's why André Løvaas wants to share his tasty gingerbread recipe with you. The recipe is easy to make, smells lovely of syrup, cinnamon and cloves and produces a soft and pliable dough that is easy to roll out. Perfect when you want to fill your home with warmth, laughter and a real Christmas spirit.

For the batter you need the following ingredients, cloves (11 g), a dash of ginger (12 g), cinnamon (12 g), sugar (480 g), a splash of water (30 g), velvety-soft whipped cream (180 g), delicious dark syrup (180 g), good eggs with sunny yellow yolks (62 g), melted butter (300 g), a little baking soda (4 g) and plenty of wheat flour (1 kg). 

Mix water, heavy cream, dark syrup and eggs in your favorite baking dish. Then mix cloves, ginger, cinnamon and sugar together with the mixture you started with. Then heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until everything is melted. Slowly fold the hot butter into the mixture.

Take a well-deserved break and cool the mixture to 30°C. Finally, mix the wheat flour with baking soda and stir in the flour little by little until you get a smooth and even dough. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight. Bake at 180°C for eight minutes for delicious and crispy gingerbread.
