Ye Ole Gingerbread

A deliciously moist never-fail loaf. I bake this loaf before bed and leave it in the cooling oven overnight. NO hard crusts!

Original recipe makes 1 – 8×4 inch loaf

Ingredients

6 ounces butter
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8×4 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, golden syrup, and milk. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, and set aside. Sift the flour, baking soda, ginger, and allspice into a large bowl. Stir in the boiled mixture until just blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Turn down the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C), and bake for 1 hour, or until the top of the loaf springs back when lightly touched.
