I think we should make an American grow house

[thecreator]

Hello my fellow foodie toker's and smokers! This morning as I was dabbling in the morning wake and bake practices of the daily smoker it dawned on me;I've never made a legal grow house,or a house at all.....Let alone one built out of gingerbread(of the organic persuasion) made decadent and opulent masked in the holiday festivities........Yep I'm going to make a ginger grow and I think we should all make one,you could easily put cannabis in it,and even put shrooms(shitaki of course) in the frosting. Anyway here's a recipe I've been fancying for the past few hours,who knows maybe make it seasonal thing.

Peace,peace

INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup butter
7/8 cup packed light brown
sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup molasses
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground allspice

6 egg whites
4 (16 ounce) packages
confectioners' sugar, sifted

1ounce of middy midz,or baby dro and stem(I'd say food processor it up until dust like)

1 Large skillet,with one to two cups of olive oil(maybe needs variant,you can tell how much according to the size of your skillet)

DIRECTIONS:
Precursor to directions lets get that oil going!
- Heat Processed cannabis in appropriate amount of oil and let sit over moderate high until the oil turns green and you smell the pungent smell of bud
-Add a bit of honey and butter to truly be able to identify the change in color
-separate and strain reserve until the making of said dough
1. First cut out in thin cardboard: a side wall, 4 1/2 x 8 inches; an end wall, 4 1/2x5 inches; a triangular gable, 4 1/2x3x3 inches; and a roof rectangle, 4 1/2x9 inches. Tape the rectangular end wall piece to the triangular gable piece: match the long side of the triangle, 4 1/2 inches, to one of the 4 1/2 inch sides of the end wall.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and molasses. Gradually beat in 2 eggs. Sift the flour, baking powder, and spices together; stir into creamed mixture. Wrap dough in parchment paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 6 portions, 2 slightly larger than the others. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the 4 smaller pieces to approximately the size of the side wall and the end wall with gable templates; cut out two of each. Roll out remaining dough, and cut into two rectangular roof pieces. Transfer gingerbread onto greased baking trays.
4. In a preheated 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven, bake gingerbread for 10 minutes, or until crisp. When removing from the oven, leave the gingerbread on the baking trays for a few minutes to set, then transfer to wire racks. Leave out overnight to harden.
5. In a large bowl, lightly whisk 2 egg whites. Gradually beat in approximately 5 cups confectioners' sugar. The icing should be smooth and stand in firm peaks. Spread or pipe a 9 inch line of icing onto a cake board, and press in one of the side walls so that it sticks firmly and stands upright. If necessary, spread or pipe a little extra icing along either side to help support it. Take an end wall and ice both the side edges. Spread or pipe a line of icing on the board at a right angle to the first wall, and press the end wall into position. Repeat this process with the other two walls until they are all in position. Leave the walls to harden together for at least two hours before putting on the roof. Spread or pipe a thick layer of icing on top of all the walls, and fix the roof pieces in position; the roof should overlap the walls to make the eaves. Pipe or spread a little icing along the crest of the roof to hold the two pieces firmly together. Leave overnight to set firmly.
6. When ready to decorate, make the remaining icing. In a large bowl, lightly whisk 4 egg whites, and mix in remaining confectioners' sugar as before. Use this to make snow on the roof, and to stick various candies for decoration. Finish with a fine dusting of sifted confectioners' sugar.

[trinitybound]

That's a cool idea!
And you could make a window so everyone can see the "Christmas tree" inside. :eat:

Word that's the spirit! I'm glad a few ppl have found it interesting,hell even if we scale the version down we could still have fun.I want to make little gingerbread dea agents trying to break down the door,so what type of candy would look the most like budding budz lol.

This is so cool. You can have Lego DEA agents, or if you are crafty and have a lot of time on your hands, you can make gingerbread men narcs or even sculpt them out of marzipan!

Word marzipan! I didn't think of that,good idea.....So you think I could sculpt little ginger men out of that instead of baking them? I'd love a bit of help creativity wise.Any and all help is welcome!I'm going to post the process as it comes together.
