Thanks P.P. Will try that at the weekend, minus the treacle. The one I had didn't use treacle, which was why I liked it. Hate treacle lol

Have a good weekend

Hi found this one

TRADITIONAL GINGER BREAD by Anne Mulhern of Glasgow's Willow Tearooms

Ingredients:


8oz self raising flour

4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 tbsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground mixed spice

4oz unsalted butter, chilled & diced

4oz black treacle

4oz golden syrup

4oz brown sugar

10 floz milk

1 egg (size 1) beaten

2lb loaf tin (lined with greaseproof paper)

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180?C / 350 F gas mark 4.

2. Sift all the dry ingredients except the sugar.

3. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it looks like breadcrumbs.

4. Warm the treacle and syrup to blood temperature.

5. Dissolve the sugar in the milk over a low heat.

6. Whisk the milk into the flour mixture.

7. Then whisk in the treacle mixture followed by the egg. When thoroughly combined it will look like a thin batter.

8. Pour the mixture into your prepared lined tins and bake for 45mins – 1 hour, test with a clean skewer.

9. During baking, the mixture will rise, then sink, this is normal. Remove from the tin and greaseproof paper. Leave to cool .

Sorry I had the gas meter man here.
It's a cake I want to make.

Thanks P.P.

Hi
Is it cookies or a cake you want to make

Bought all the ingredients to make it, but have mislaid the recipe.
I don't like the ome in the Bero book.
Does anyone have a simple one please.
One I had was given to me by a wonderful cook a few years ago, and makes lovely gingerbread.
