Janice Gordon lived opposite us when my sister and I were growing up. This gingerbread recipe is hers, and was given to me by my sister Emma last week. It is lovely sticky and is good with a cup of tea in the afternoon, or with a slice of cheddar cheese.
8oz margarine
8oz brown sugar
8oz black treacle
12 oz plain flour
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 desertspoons ginger
1/2 pnt hot milk
2 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda
2 eggs
Melt marg, sugar and treacle
Sift flour and spices, add melted ingredients and beat
Mix bicarb and milk, add to above mixture
Beat eggs and add to mixture
Pour into a 8inch lined, greased tin
Bake for 1hr 20 mins at 130 degrees C
Keeps for ages – if you dont eat it!
