OLD FASHION GINGERBREAD
My dad would always tell me his mother made gingerbread with hot water and that it was dense and rich with molasses. Over the years I looked for such a recipe, to no avail. Then one day I was given a book compiled by an elderly woman who recalled recipes from her childhood in Virginia, and there it was! I made one slight change, substituting shortening for lard. For gingerbread lovers, this classic version is wonderful, whether you eat it hot and dripping with butter or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your gingerbread a more authentic taste.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your gingerbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough chill before baking. Chilling the dough will make it easier to handle and will help the gingerbread hold its shape in the oven.
- Bake the gingerbread until it is just set. Overbaking will make your gingerbread dry and crumbly. Insert a toothpick into the center of the gingerbread; if it comes out clean, the gingerbread is done.
Conclusion:
Gingerbread is a classic holiday treat that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect gingerbread that is moist, flavorful, and full of holiday cheer.
