Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the honey and brown sugar until fully combined and smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the saucepan, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the gingerbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Honey Gingerbread!
