Gingerbread Recipe

1

Ingredients

3/4 cup (6 ounces) light brown sugar
1/4 cup (3 ounces) molasses
1/2 cup (5 ounces) golden syrup
8 tablespoons (1 stick, 4 ounces) butter, melted
1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup (4 1/2 ounces) minced crystallized ginger (optional)
1 cup (8 ounces) boiling water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar, molasses, syrup, melted butter, oil and eggs, beating until smooth. Stir in the flour, baking soda, spices, salt and crystallized ginger. Then carefully stir in the water; go slowly, as it will want to splash up. Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl and stir in any of the pasty patches that have gathered there.

Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13 inch pan or tube pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until it tests done.

Enjoy!
