My exceptional gingerbread recipe, rivaling the best, is truly inspiring.
Ingredients:
  • 400 g quality shortbread
  • 170 g demerara sugar
  • 3 level teaspoons ground ginger
  • 40 g mixed peel
  • 40 g crystallized ginger
  • 70 g plain flour
  • 1 pinch of baking powder
  • 40 g golden syrup
  • 40 g treacle
  • 70 g unsalted butter
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4 and line a 20cm x 35cm baking tray with greaseproof paper. In a food processor, blitz the shortbread, sugar, and 2 teaspoons of ground ginger to fine crumbs. Reserve 100g of the mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of ginger, mixed peel, more ginger, flour, and baking powder to the processor and pulse until combined. In a pan, melt syrup, treacle, and butter together. Stir in the processed mixture. Spread the mixture onto the baking tray and press it down firmly. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle the hot gingerbread with the reserved crumbs and press down. Cut into pieces, let it cool, and enjoy.
