Cinnamon gingerbread is a traditional German pastry. Making it according to the classic recipe requires a fair amount of skill and patience, so typical of Germans. This version is made with choux pastry, which also needs to be left to rest at room temperature for two days. But the result is worth it: the gingerbread is fluffy on the inside and quite firm on the outside. It's perfect for creating gingerbread houses and other edible sculptures.
