Traditional gingerbread
A recipe from Chelsea in NZ. Another favourite.
Ingredients
- 100 grams butter
- 2 Tbsp golden syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups plain flour
- 5 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven 190°C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper. In a large microwave-proof bowl or saucepan, melt the butter and Chelsea Golden Syrup together.
- Add egg and brown sugar, mix well, then add all other dry ingredients except the baking soda.
- Mix the soda with the milk and stir in. Pour into prepared loaf tin and bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until cooked (when a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean with no fudgy crumbs attached). Cool on a wire rack, slice and butter when cool.
