Lemon Glazed Gingerbread image

Another of grandmothers old fashioned recipes... sweet, moist and addictive, I love gingerbread and I hope you will enjoy this lovely treat. Make sure that the gingerbread is completed cooled before cutting into squares and storing in an airtight container. The gingerbread matures as it ages and will become sticky.

The lemon glaze was really good, but the gingerbread was a bit bland.

This gingerbread was a little too dry for my liking. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

I used half the amount of sugar in the glaze and it was still plenty sweet. The gingerbread was moist and flavorful.

The lemon glaze was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the gingerbread itself was delicious.
