Gingerbread

This is something I cannot live without, at least once a month this needs baking.

Ingredients:

• 6oz plain flour
• 1 level tsp baking soda
• 1 level tsp ground ginger
• 1 rounded tsp mixed spice
• 2oz brown sugar
• 2oz margarine
• 2oz treacle
• 1oz syrup
• 1 beaten egg
• 1/4 pint milk

Melt the margarine, treacle and syrup together. 

Add these to the beaten egg with the milk. 

Next add this mixture to the dry ingredients.

Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes at 350d/180/gas 4. Check after 45 minutes as cooking time varies from oven to oven.

Cool and enjoy with real butter only.

Freezes well.
