I use a darker molasses in mine, so it's a slightly deeper shade of brown (in fact, I like blackstrap molasses for this particular application). But, I agree. It's a shame that this form has gone out of vogue!Lohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627131190832189839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6331688081496668397.post-51937260210500007322008-10-14T01:05:00.000+01:002008-10-14T01:05:00.000+01:00Oh wow.

We've been making gin...It must be the time of year. We've been making gingerbread men and I've tried two recipes, one which is a snappy biscuit, and one which is soft and chewy but still a biscuit.<BR/>I've only once made this type of cakey gingerbread using Nigella's recipe (with lemon icing-yum) from her Goddess book. I'd forgotten how nice it is!
