Edinburgh Gingerbread
A scottish treat. Slather a slice with butter as a late night snack!!
Steps
Sift the flour , spices , salt and baking soda , and then stir in the fruit and nuts.
Melt the butter with the molasses and sugar on a low heat.
The mixture should remain somewhat cool but the sugar should be dissolved.
Add the milk and stir in the eggs.
Pour the warm mixture into a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to form a batter.
Pour into a greased and lined 2 lb loaf tin.
Bake at 325f / 160c / gas mark 3 for 1 hours.
This is a fairly heavy recipe and may sink on cooling.
