Last summer I enjoyed an Alaskan cruise, and we had a fabulous time at the Mendenhall Glacier. :) Alaska is also well-known for its sourdough... and brought together here is a delicious combination of sourdough and gingerbread. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup sourdough starter |
1/2 cup hot water |
1/2 cup molasses |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed |
1 large egg |
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 cup butter, or shortening |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Cream together the brown sugar and shortening.
3. Then add molasses and egg, beating continuously; set aside
4. In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together and blend into hot water.
5. Then beat this mixture into creamed mixture.
6. As the last step, add the sourdough starter slowly, mixing carefully to maintain a bubbly batter.
7. Pour into lightly buttered and floured 8 x8 baking pan and bake at 375 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until done.
8. Best served with ice cream or whipped cream while still hot.
