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.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your gingerbread will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your gingerbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake the Gingerbread in a Preheated Oven: This will help ensure that the gingerbread bakes evenly.
- Don't Overbake the Gingerbread: Overbaking the gingerbread will make it dry and crumbly. Bake it just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the Gingerbread Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
