Good luck!
My fb group has offered a few suggestions:
use a regular gingerbread recipe but do not add any of the ingredients that will make it rise and add Karo syrup and extra shortening. make 2 recipes at a time and add 2T of meringue powder
or
Humidity Proof Gingerbread
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/8 cups sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup honey
3/4 tsp each cinnamon, ground cloves, ginger
Sift all dry ingredients. Combine eggs and honey. Add this to dry mix. It will be stiff you can 1 T of honey. Knead mixture. Cover in a bowl. Let stand overnight. Cook pieces in oven of 325 F. It helps to cook gingerbread slow. Pieces should not be more 1/8 in thickness.

2 3/4 cups al- purpose flour
1 1/8 cups sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
*For darker gingerbread use more ground cloves this mixture is stiff. In your food processor blend flour, sugar and all spices. Add eggs one at a time. Heat honey for about 10 seconds in micro pour in to processor blend until mixture is away from the sides and is completely mixed. Pat into ball knead on a lightly floured surface. Roll out dough the thickness of a nickel and lay your pattern pieces on prepared dough and cut out with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Preheat oven 325 F. Transfer pieces with a spatula to a lightly greased cookie sheet or on lined with parchment paper. Baking time 18 minutes for the walls, doors and shutters. 20 minutes for the roof pieces. Remember to roll out your dough for your roof panels to the thickness of a dime. Always making your roof lighter than your walls. Remove immediately from cookie sheet and lay flat to cool.
Allow to cool thoroughly before decorating and always decorate your sections flat. Let dry for days before standing your house up. I roll this dough out in my cookie sheets and when it is baked and cooled I mark my pattern pieces on the slab and cut it on a band saw. It’s amazing! Enjoy the Journey!!
