I found this in a magazine years ago and loving gingerbread flavor as I do, I had to try these. They are yummy! These are wonderful with a cup of tea. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1/3 cup light brown sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 cup butter (room temperature) |
1 egg |
1 egg white |
1/3 cup molasses (half blackstrap if you have it) |
1/4 cup milk, plus |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 teaspoon vinegar |
1 egg white (beaten and save) |
sugar, for sprinkling |
Directions:
1. Combine the first eight ingredients.
2. With a pastry blender, cut in the butter till there are coarse crumbs.
3. Make a well in the center.
4. In small bowl mix the next five ingredients-the egg, egg white, molasses, milk, and vinegar.
5. Mix this well; it may be a little dry.
6. Put on floured board and knead a few times till smooth.
7. Pat into a 7 circle and cut into 8 wedges.
8. Arrange on an ungreased baking sheet having the wedges 1 apart.
9. Brush with the extra beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
10. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.
11. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
