This is a slight veriation on the orignal Grantham Gingerbread, which i find gives it a pleasant change. Im also in the process of trying to adapt the recipe using Sweet and Low, and low fat Butter, i dont know how these will work aa they are in the oven as we speak :) I tried the Sweet and Low with low fat marg and didnt really like the results, however i then made a batch using Muscavado sugar and they were really nice, sort of crunchy and chewy :)
