Old Fashioned Gingerbread

Lynn demonstrates how to make an Old Fashioned Gingerbread that would be great for the Holidays for a dessert or snack.

Ingredients:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 egg
• 1 cup molasses
• 2-1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup hot water
• Confectioners' Sugar for sprinkling, if desired

Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease and flour a 9" square pan.

In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter.  Beat in the egg, and mix in the molasses.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.  Blend into the creamed mixture.  Stir in the hot water.  Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.  Allow to cool in pan before serving.  Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
