GINGERBREAD WITH LEMON SAUCE
This was my favorite dessert when I was a little girl. I can remember clearly the smell of the gingerbread cooking in the oven--even now the smell bring goose bumps. Having two brothers I had to compete vigorously for my share of seconds. If I lost, my mother would always give me her piece when the the boys weren't looking. I don't have it any longer, but I remember finding this recipe many years later on a little scrap of paper in the pages of my mother's favorite cookbook.

MOM'S GINGERBREAD WITH LEMON SAUCE
This is a nice spicy dark gingerbread cake that's kind of dense, but tender. It makes a full, tall cake in an 8" or 9" pan; if you want thinner cake, use a 9" X 13" pan and bake it for less time. I usually serve it right out of my Corningware baking pan, but if you wish to turn it out onto a serving plate, line the bottom of the pan with parchment. I like to use whole wheat flour, and since it is normally moist and dense, it seems exactly the same as all purpose flour. I also switched out butter for the shortening originally called for.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Off the heat, add the milk, eggs, and baking soda in its water.
- Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients, beating until very well mixed (it will be a very liquid batter). Pour it into the pan and bake for 3/4 - 1 hour until risen and firm. Be careful not to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and anyway it will carry on cooking as it cools.
- And when it is cool, get on with the icing. Whisk the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add the water. You want a good, thick icing, so go cautiously and be prepared not to add all the water. Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set before cutting.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Choose lemons that are bright yellow and heavy for their size. Grate the lemon zest finely so that it releases its flavor into the sauce.
- Use a light hand when mixing the gingerbread dough. Over-mixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the gingerbread dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the gingerbread cookies until they are just set. They should be slightly soft in the center and have a slight springback when pressed. Over-baking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Make the lemon sauce while the gingerbread cookies are baking. This will give the sauce time to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the gingerbread cookies warm with the lemon sauce. The sauce can also be served cold, if desired.
Conclusion:
This gingerbread with warm lemon sauce is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for the holiday season. The gingerbread cookies are soft and chewy, with a warm, spicy flavor. The lemon sauce is tart and tangy, and it perfectly complements the sweetness of the cookies. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
