Since yesterday featured decorating gingerbread, I thought I’d share a good recipe for making some.
Years ago I spent some time copying recipes from my great-grandmother’s cookbooks, and she had a note beside this one that intrigued me: “This makes a very thin batter but the best gingerbread you ever ate.” Who wouldn’t want to try that?
So when My Little Man and I were studying gingerbread a few weeks ago, this is the recipe we pulled out. We weren’t sorry.

- 1/2 c. butter
- 1/2 c. brown sugar
- 1 c. dark molasses (we used King's syrup)
- 1 t. cinnamon

- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 c. white or white wheat flour
- 2 level t. baking soda

Notes
- We topped ours with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, but whipped cream or some great vanilla ice cream would be good, too. YUM!
