gingerbread... for when you're out of myrrh

15 More Sleeps Until Christmas!

For most of my life I viewed Gingerbread as something vile one would only eat if forced to.  I’m not really sure why I had this idea stuck in my head, as truthfully I don’t ever remember eating it growing up.  I can only assume it’s something I had once that was poorly made and has caused the stigma to attach to the rest of the gingerbread family.

As an adult I love ginger, so it seemed to make sense that I would try and make gingerbread this year.  I was delighted with the results.  And even better, it’s dead easy to make.  If you own a bowl, a whisk & a glass baking dish you can make this.  So turn up the Holiday tunes (or not, today I took a break and blasted Weezer’s Raditude in the kitchen... there are only so many pa-rum-pa-pa-pums one can handle each year)... and bake!

ingredients:

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup Non-Fat Sour Cream (I always use Jersey Farms)
  • 1/2 cup Fancy Molasses
  • 1/2 cup turbinado cane sugar (Cocoa Camino is the only type I buy)
  • 1 1/2 cups whole grain pastry flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp saigon cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

This is how easy this recipe is....

Crack your eggs into your mixing bowl and whisk until beaten thoroughly.  Then add each ingredient in order whisking after each new addition.

Preheat your oven to 350F.  Pour your bread mixture into an 8x8 glass baking dish.  Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

See... isn’t that simple?
