GINGERBREAD

My grandmother first used this recipe for gingerbread over 100 years ago. I remember that the kitchen smelled like heaven when Grandmother baked her gingerbread. The only thing better was when she took it out of the oven and served it with a generous topping of fresh whipped cream! -Ellouise Halstead, Union Grove, Wisconsin

GINGERBREAD SPICE MIXTURE



Gingerbread Spice Mixture image

This is a versatile mix of spices that can be added to lots of other things -- yellow cake mix, pancake or waffle batter, ground coffee before brewing, scones, muffins, cookies, whatever you want to have a gingerbread flavor. I sometimes put some of this mix in an 8-oz jelly jar and give as a gift along with cookie cutters, some standard cake mixes, and a sampling of recipes. I also use this to season my pumpkin pies and butternut squash custards.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your gingerbread.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the gingerbread tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help prevent the gingerbread from spreading too much.
  • Bake the gingerbread at a moderate temperature. A high temperature will make the gingerbread dry and crumbly.
  • Let the gingerbread cool completely before decorating. This will help prevent the decorations from melting or sliding off.
  • Be creative with your decorations. You can use anything from candy canes to sprinkles to gumdrops to decorate your gingerbread.

Conclusion:

Gingerbread is a delicious and festive holiday treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is relatively easy to make, and it can be decorated in a variety of ways to suit your taste. With a little planning and effort, you can create a beautiful and delicious gingerbread house that will be the centerpiece of your holiday table.
