Steps:
- 1. You will need 2 large bowls. The contents of the liquid ingredients bowl will be stirred into the dry ingredient bowl.
- 2. Bowl #1: Flour, baking powder, allspice, Jamaican ginger, baking soda, and salt. Stir to blend well.
- 3. Bowl #2: melted butter, molasses, evaporated milk, dark brown sugar, beaten eggs. Mix together thoroughly.
- 4. Add to liquid mixture the chopped cystallized ginger.
- 5. Add to liquid mixture sprinkling of grated ginger root. This ingredient gives a "kick" - it is optional.
- 6. Stir the liquid mixture into the dry mixture. Stir well.
- 7. Loaf Pans: pour mixture into 2 9x5x3 loaf pans. Bake 350 for 40-45 minutes - center rack. Important to watch carefully at about 30 minutes, as this gingerbread should NOT be overbaked. It is helpful to place a pan of water on the rack below the center baking rack.
- 8. Muffins: Pour into about 44 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes - center rack. It is helpful to place a pan of water on the rack below the center baking rack.
- 9. Cool completely. Refrigerate/freeze for minimum of 48 hours to ripen ginger. Best if ripened at least a week. Freezes beautifully.
