Lyle's Golden Syrup is the perfect syrup for this recipe. You can buy it online or in gourmet grocery stores. If you can't find it, use dark corn syrup, but do not substitute molasses because it's too harshly flavored.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 (11 ounce) jar Lyle's Golden Syrup
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In large saucepan, melt syrup with butter, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon and mix well. Add the syrup mixture along with the egg and milk and mix until combined. Spray a 9" square pan with baking spray and pour in the batter. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes until set and gingerbread begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely. Best served warm.
