Gingerbread is a timeless family favorite, perfect for the holidays or any occasion that calls for a touch of warmth and sweetness. This recipe combines brown sugar, maple syrup, and a blend of flours to create a soft and delicious treat, with the added zing of ginger for that classic gingerbread flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan (a 9x13-inch pan works well) with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the gingerbread.
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 cups of maple syrup. Mix well until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add in the egg and continue to mix until fully incorporated. Slowly add the 1.25 cups of milk while stirring, and mix until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift together 1.50 cups of all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 cup of self-raising flour, 1 tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of ginger. Ensure these are combined evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the gingerbread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious homemade family gingerbread!
Tips:
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin to ensure the batter mixes smoothly.
- Sift the flours and baking soda together to avoid lumps and to help the gingerbread rise evenly.
- For a more intense ginger flavor, consider adding a bit more ground ginger or incorporate fresh grated ginger.
- Don't overmix the batter once you've combined wet and dry ingredients; mix just until incorporated to keep the gingerbread tender.
- To test for doneness, insert a toothpick or a skewer into the center of the bread; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
This family gingerbread recipe is a cozy and delicious way to bring loved ones together. Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea or as part of a festive spread, the warm spices and rich sweetness are sure to delight. Follow these tips to perfect your gingerbread, and savor the joyful moments it brings to your home.
