  1. 今天用了肥丁老師方法做糖霜,大成功。
    我也是對生蛋有疑慮,也不想用蛋白粉,因為不常用。
    很幸運看到肥丁老師的分享。感恩

  2. Why didn’t you put molasses in in your instructions or video even though it was in the ingredients section? Also, when do you put it in? We added it in with honey.
    Our dough was pretty so we added quite a bit of flour… The ginger bread turned out perfect and yummy. Thank you for your beautiful recipe.

  3. 看到上面有朋友曾經問過關於糖霜加入蛋白打起還是只用糖霜加水的問題…您提到兩者是不同的。其實在這方面我在網上做了很多資料搜集但都解決不了,您可以稍為解釋一下嗎?因為我問過烘焙店職員都說要用蛋白加糖霜才可唧在曲奇上作裝飾,我實在很困擾,不明白兩者的分別,望您能指點一下,謝謝喔!

      不用困擾,肥丁以前也認為只有蛋白打起才能做蛋白霜裝飾,蛋白有彈性,做出來的糖霜黏性較強,不過始終有點抗拒使用生蛋,外國食譜多用蛋白粉來代替,我覺得蛋白粉有一定程度是化學東西,也不太想用。後來發現其實糖霜加水都可以做出差不多的效果,雖然比較難控制,但勝在夠簡單。烹飪世界博大精深,任何事情不會只有一種方法達成,多學習多吸收是好的,如何運用就要靠自己實踐和吸收經驗取捨了。

      1. 非常感謝你的回覆!!實在太詳細了…原來兩者都可以用作裝飾,不過對於我這些初學者相信用蛋白霜的成功率會大些吧…?你說得對,烹飪需要不斷嘗試和練習才會成功!我會試用你的健康做法做裝飾!
        今天跟你的薑餅食譜做了一盆小型印模的餅乾,想確定一下,我的餅乾夠厚,顏色亦夠,但卻較硬和很脆,這是正常的嗎?

  4. 你好呀,今天跟著你的食譜試做了一次薑餅人,但遇到困難呀,希望你能教教我;P我跟著份量,用140g的面粉和糖漿mix 一齊,但我差不多要用上200g的面粉(因為十分濕潤)才能令粉團弄壓模的狀態,這是正常的嗎?另外,我沒有黑蜜糖,用了普通的蜜糖,結果餅弄出來色澤十份淺色,不像你弄的好看…我可用多些黃糖,減少蜜糖份量嗎?謝謝;)

    1. 我用蜜糖是很稠,接近固體的那種,如果你的蜂蜜是很稀很流質的,有需要時增加麵粉的份量是沒問題。黑糖蜜 molasses 和 蜜糖 ( 蜂蜜 ) 是完全不同種類的糖,黑糖蜜是精製砂糖時留下來的產品,如果你沒有,可用黑糖代替,顏色自會深一點。食譜中液體糖 ( 黑糖蜜、蜂蜜 ) 和固體糖的份量有一定的比例,分別起著維持濕度和脆度的平衡,液體糖有保濕的作用,兩者的重量和甜味是不成正比的,改比例即改變餅乾的質感,健議你按原食譜做一次,再自己調整合適的合味

    1. 波比太太,多謝你的讚賞呢﹗(○^~^○) 畫花之前的他只是一個普通的薑餅人,畫花之後頓時人見人愛,變成一份小心思禮物,所以花些時間製作是值得的﹗
