I couldn't find a recipe for a true ginger bar, so worked out one of my own. This is moist and flavorful with a nice ginger hot zing . Omit or decrease the crystallized ginger if you prefer a mild ginger flavor! I made my own crystallized ginger with Crystallized Ginger , Ginger Syrup & Ginger Sugar, it's easy and inexpensive. Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine |
1 1/4 cups sugar |
1/4 cup molasses |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon ginger powder |
2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon clove |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 cups flour |
2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger (or quantity to taste) |
3 tablespoons coarse sugar (for topping) |
Directions:
1. Cream butter, sugar, molasses, and egg in large bowl.
2. Add all spices and beat until well mixed.
3. Add flour and crystallized ginger; beat until flour is incorporated.
4. Spread into greased 9X13 pan and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
5. Bake 350 degrees 25-30 minutes until medium brown and risen in the middle. Cool and cut.
6. Notes: You can put the crystallized ginger on top along with the coarse sugar; this is helpful if you want to make part of the pan milder for the kids! Looks great with colored coarse sugar.
