Hi
The period gingerbread recipes I have seen seem to all be more cakey
than you could use for this purpose.
However, there is (somewhere) a period 'wafer' recipe involving flour
and honey and not much else, which cooks as hard as a rock if you make
it any thicker than a very slim wafer.
I used it to make stained glass window frames for a principality event,
then the same recipe was used with far more skill by Aelfrythe of Saxony
for the same purpose. I will try to rummage around and see if I can
track it down for you; if noone else does before I get the chance. If I
haven't gotten back to you within a week or so, email me privately and
remind me; I have a terrible memory.
