Fractal Gingerbread House

Step 2Make some gingerbread dough

Make some gingerbread dough
Here's my totally untasty recipe for gingerbread.

7 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups solid vegetable shortening or unsalted butter
1 cup (packed) brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups molasses

Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder.

Beat the shortening or butter at medium speed until it's light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and beat to blend. Beat in the eggs one by one, and then beat in the molasses. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually stir in the flour mixture.

Divide the dough in thirds, wrap in plastic and chill for 3 hours.
