Gingerbread as a warming treat in Winter
My hubbie loves gingerbread and I must confess that I haven't made any for a long time, so after searching my old recipe books I came across the following recipe in my Carry On Cookery Book, a post-war cookbook.
He's just tried some and has judged it to be moist and tasty, although he would have loved more of a ginger flavour.
Ingredients
1C butter or dripping
1/2C sugar
1 egg
1/2C treacle (I used golden syrup)
1C milk
3t ginger,
2t cinnamon
1 1/2C flour
1/2t soda
1/4 boiling water
Method
1. Mix all ingredients in order with soda being dissolved in boiling water.
2. Pour into a paper-lined dish and bake in a moderate oven for 45 mins.
The recipe also suggests:
'One tablespoon jam or marmalade is an improvement'.
Gotta love the way they used to write a recipe.
