  • Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/400°F/Gas 6. Melt the butter, sugar and syrup together in a large pan. Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ground ginger together in a large bowl and make a well. Pour the melted butter mixture into the well, stir it in and, when cool enough to handle, knead to a stiff dough.
  • Divide the mixture into 5 pieces, cut one of these pieces in half (so you have 6 pieces in total). Roll out each piece on a sheet of greaseproof paper to ¾cm thick. Following the templates (PDF, 1.5MB), cut out each section of the house and slide onto 3 baking sheets. Using the template as a guide, a ruler and the rim of a cup, cut out the arched windows on the front and sides of the house. Using a star cutter, cut out a star on the front and back of the house. Using a knife, cut out a door on the front and back of the house and place the doors separately on the baking sheets.
  • Re-roll the trimmings and use to cut out the chimney and three Christmas trees. Bake the gingerbread for 7–8 minutes. Meanwhile place the boiled sweets in a pestle and mortar and crush to a rough sand texture. Remove the gingerbread from the oven. Trim the windows if the mixture has spread and sprinkle the crushed sweets into the windows. Return to the oven and continue to cook for 3–4 minutes, until the sweets have melted and the gingerbread is firm. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes, then trim around the templates again to give clean, sharp edges. Leave to cool completely.
  • For the icing, whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until frothy. Using a wooden spoon or a hand-held electric mixer on slow speed, add the icing sugar a tablespoonful at a time. Stir in the lemon juice and beat the icing until it is very stiff and white and stands up in peaks. Cover the surface with a damp cloth if not using immediately.
