gingerbread

Until last year, I had only made gingerbread from the box mix. I decided to try and find a recipe to make from scratch. I failed to make a note of where I got this recipe, but it is really, really good! It has a light texture, rich brown color and has just the right blend of spices to get that great homemade taste. I made this today to send to my Mom for Mother's Day along with some other goodies I know she'll enjoy.

How To Make gingerbread
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
2Grease and flour an 8" square pan. (I use parchment paper to line the pan.)
-
3Cream together the first four ingredients, adding them one ingredient at a time, creaming in between each addition.
-
4Continue creaming the liquid ingredients and start adding the dry ingredients alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with your dry ingredients.
-
5Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. In the photo, along the edges, it looks burned. The edges aren't burned, that's just the rich brown color of this gingerbread.
