Gingerbread house

Gingerbread house

Gingercakes evolved from the story of a “confective house” in the “green fairy tale” forest, where brothers and sisters, Hansen and Gretel, whose parents left them in the forest because of their poverty, did not expect to find a candy house in the forest when they were hungry, roofs made of bread, walls made of biscuits, windows made of white sugar frosted, and various kinds of candy on the outside of the roof and the walls. When the gingerbread house was given a Christmas atmosphere, it became widely known and became a Christmas snack. It's Christmas in a few days. Make a beautiful gingerbread house. A nice little gingerbread house is an ornament
Tollen Stallen

Tollen Stallen

Tollen, also known by many of us as Stallen, is a traditional German Christmas snack, which is said to be hundreds of years old. One month before Christmas each year, the whole family gathers together every week for Christmas, cutting it into thin pieces and continuing until Christmas. I didn't really like food full of thick sugar powder, but it changed my mind about Stollen. A few years ago, on the eve of Christmas, this ancient German snack, the scent of rum and butter-heavy flavour, and the unexpected discovery that thick sugar powder didn't taste so sweet, truly admired the traditional taste of centuries of life, and indeed captured the tongue and heart. So, on Christmas Eve this year, as a Chinese, I made this delicious German holiday snack using the Japanese recipe. It's so interesting how food culture penetrates people of different races in different countries.
