Maple Gingerbread
Servings 9
My Mom’s recipe for Maple Gingerbread is lighter and delicately spiced, making it perfect for the whole family.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter you may need more or less
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda also known as bicarbonate of soda
- 2 teaspoons dried ginger You can add more or less to taste
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sour cream or crème fraîche
- 1 cup maple syrup use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 175°C.
- Grease the baking pan well with butter.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking soda together into a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, beat the egg until light and fluffy using a whisk.
- Whisk the sour cream and maple syrup into the egg.
- Pour the syrup mixture into the flour mixture.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir together until well blended.
- Pour into the greased baking pan.
- Put the pan in the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the maple gingerbread is beginning to turn a golden colour and a skewer inserted in the middle of the maple gingerbread comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before attempting to remove the maple gingerbread from the pan. You can also allow it to cool completely in the pan and simply cut and serve it from there if you prefer.
- Keep covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
