A simple and hearty gingerbread square made with whole wheat flour and molasses which give it substance and sweetness, making the perfect snack
Yield:
12 pieces
Ingredients:
Gingerbread Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup molasses
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup boiling water
Lemon Glaze Ingredients:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Instructions:
1. To make the gingerbread, begin by sifting together the dry ingredients.
2. Stir in the remaining gingerbread ingredients one by one, in the order they are listed.
3. Spread mixture into a greased and floured 8-inch square baking pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until gingerbread tests done with a toothpick.
5. While gingerbread is baking, mix together the ingredients for the lemon glaze.
6. When the gingerbread is removed from oven, immediately poke holes in the surface with a wooden pick and pour on glaze. (Dotting the surface allows the glaze to seep in evenly into the gingerbread.)
