Time 1h5m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup golden syrup
1/2 cup boiling water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Put the sugar into a half-pint measuring cup.
  • Fill the cup with the golden syrup.
  • Pour the mixture into a bowl.
  • Then, put butter into the half-pint measuring cup and fill with boiling water.
  • Mix well.
  • Add baking soda.
  • Now, sift together the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Mix well until you have a soft, smooth consistency.
  • Pour into a square or oblong baking pan lined with greaseproof paper.
  • Bake at 350F for 40 minutes.
  • Baking tip: All gingerbreads collapse if disturbed too soon while baking.
  • Variation: As a variation, add 1 cup mixed fruits or fruits and nuts (chopped), if desired.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a better-tasting gingerbread. Look for organic, unbleached flour, and pure ground ginger.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender gingerbread.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough gingerbread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to roll out.
  • Bake the gingerbread in a preheated oven: This will help to prevent the gingerbread from spreading too much.
  • Don't overbake the gingerbread: Overbaking can cause the gingerbread to become dry and crumbly. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the gingerbread cool completely before decorating: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Eggless gingerbread is a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great option for those who are allergic to eggs or who simply prefer not to eat them. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect batch of eggless gingerbread that is sure to impress your family and friends.
