Equipment

  • saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • oven
  • baking pan

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cloves ground
  • 1/8 tsp allspice ground
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg ground
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg, ground

Instructions

Step 1:

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2:

  • Grease the bottom, sides, and corners of a 9-inch square baking pan with unsalted butter.

Step 3:

  • Pour the whole milk into a saucepan and heat it gently until it’s just about to boil. Once it starts to bubble, remove it from the heat and stir in the baking soda until dissolved. Set this aside to cool slightly.

Step 4:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the molasses and eggs, whisking them together until well blended.

Step 5:

  • Add the unsalted butter to the bowl with the molasses and eggs. Stir vigorously, mashing the butter into the mixture to break up any clumps. Some small clumps may remain, which is perfectly fine.

Step 6:

  • In another bowl, mix together the sugar, all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, and ground nutmeg until evenly combined.

Step 7:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients from the second bowl into the bowl with the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture. Whisk continuously until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 8:

  • Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9:

  • Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10:

  • Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for about 30 minutes.

Step 11:

  • After cooling, cut the gingerbread into squares and serve.

Step 12:

  • For added flavor and presentation, you can top your gingerbread squares with whipped cream, drizzle with caramel sauce, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or any other desired toppings.

Step 13:

  • Enjoy your delicious homemade gingerbread mix!

Notes

– To enhance the flavor of the gingerbread, you can add a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger to the batter.
– For a lighter texture, sift the flour before adding it to the batter.
– To make the gingerbread more festive, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter.
– If you prefer a sweeter gingerbread, you can increase the amount of sugar in the recipe.
– For a dairy-free version, you can use a plant-based milk and margarine instead of butter.
