Another year has come and gone, I'm still singing Christmas songs. The time flew by too quickly. I'm excited to welcome 2014. There's been some sweets moments and some spicy moments. In conjunction to that phrase, I'm sharing a Gingerbread recipe. It's got your Sugar and it's Spicy.
Hope that your year is off to a great start. All the negativity push it away don't spread that trash around. All the mess should not fuel you. Find ways to avoid negative or hostile situations and environments. Go after your dreams and challenge yourself. Have Fun above all else, and ultimately remember you are what you eat people!
Here's the Gingerbread Recipe:
I make this with much love and it give me love right back ;)
2 1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp ginger, ground
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup brown sugar - packed
1 cup molasses
2 tsp apple cider
2 tbsp. lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup boiling water
Preheat oven 350 F. Grease and flour pan set aside. In a bowl, mix dry ingredients flour, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt and baking soda. Using a mixer, beat shortening 3 minutes, add sugar and lemon zest. In a 4 cup measuring cup or bowl, add molasses and boiling water stir. Alternately, add flour and molasses mix to the mixing bowl. Add batter to pan and bake 35 minutes and let the aroma take over the house! Do the toothpick trick and place it in the center to make sure it's done before removing from the oven. If it need to cook longer reduce heat to 325 F until completely done. Remove from oven let rest for 20 min then flip onto cooking rack until cool.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Happy Eating :)
