You don’t need shortening to make an absolutely perfect gingerbread. Just closely monitor the bread’s bake time so it won’t dry out in the oven.
Ready in: 55 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 9

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• water

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 40 mins | Extra time: 10 mins, cooling

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift all the dry ingredients together (that is, all but the egg, molasses, and water) to make a homogeneous mixture.
3. Add molasses and egg and stir into a lumpy, dough-like paste. Then, gradually add water while stirring until a thick but pourable lump-free batter results. The batter should be considerably thicker than pancake batter and no longer paste-like.
4. Transfer batter to a 9×9-inch glass baking dish and bake 35 to 45 minutes depending on the oven, checking the consistency of the middle every few minutes after 35 with a clean, dry knife. The first time the knife comes out dry from the middle, the cake is done and should immediately be removed from the oven.
5. Cool at least ten minutes.
