DARK GINGERBREAD 

.

.

This is another of my mother's Hampshire recipes that have been passed down through the family over the years. 

My mother would cook by "feel" without the use of scales etc.

When she passed the recipes on to me I wanted to write them down, so we put quantities to the ingredients.

Method

.

.

Line & grease a 7" cake tin.

Melt butter, sugar and treacle gently in a pan.

Sieve flour and ginger into mixing bowl, add butter mix and beaten egg.

Warm milk and pour onto soda, stir and add to mix, beat well until smooth.

Pour into tin.

Bake in cool oven gas mark 2, or 300°F, 150°C for 1½ hrs.

It eats better if keep in a tin for a few days before cutting, if you can wait that long!!
