Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoons salt
  • ½ cups brown sugar packed
  • ½ cups buttermilk
  • ½ cups dark molasses
  • cups butter melted (unsalted butter is better for taste and flavor)
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • powdered sugar optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Either spray your 8-inch square pan with some nonstick cooking spray, or you can use tin foil, parchment paper or waxed paper to line the pan. In a bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, buttermilk, molasses, melted butter and egg. Stir the flour mixture into the sugar/molasses mixture. Pour batter into your prepared pan.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
  • If you'd like, you can sprinkle the finished gingerbread with some powdered sugar for appearance. Slice and serve. Delicious hot or cold! Serve with some vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
