recipe above—and frost when cool with Simple White Icing (recipe below).
SIMPLE WHITE ICING
Blend together 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar, ¼ tsp. salt, ½ tsp. vanilla, and enough milk or water to make easy to spread (about 1½ tbsp.). Part of icing may be colored by adding a drop or two of food coloring.
GINGERBREAD BOYS
Make holidays gayer than ever.
Follow
recipe above—and mix in 1 more cup sifted GOLD MEDAL Flour. Chill dough. Roll out very thick (½″). Grease cardboard gingerbread boy pattern, place on the dough, and cut around it with a sharp knife. Or use a gingerbread boy cutter. With a pancake turner, carefully transfer gingerbread boys to lightly greased baking sheet. Press raisins into dough for eyes, nose, mouth, and shoe and cuff buttons. Use bits of candied cherries or red gum drops for coat buttons; strips of citron for tie. Bake. Cool slightly, then carefully remove from baking sheet. With white icing, make outlines for collar, cuffs, belt, and shoes.
