ginger

 

I love this ginger loaf, when smeared with butter and consumed alongside a hot cup of tea it is the ultimate heart-warmer. It's super simple to throw together too!

This recipe is enough for a small loaf.

50g butter

1tbsp golden syrup

1 egg

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup flour

1tsp baking powder

2tsp ginger

1tsp mixed spice

1tsp baking soda

3/4 cup milk

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celcius.

Melt your butter and golden syrup on a low heat in a small saucepan. Pour into a mixing bowl.

Add the egg and sugar and mix well.

Add all the dry ingredients except the baking soda and mix well.

Mix the soda in the milk and then slowly stir into the rest of the mix.

Pour your mixture into a baking paper-lined loaf tin.

Bake for 30-40min until a skewer comes out cleanly. Leave on a rack to cool.

Also featured in the pics is my new blanket that I picked up from Retropolitan. I love the colours and is perfect for sitting on in the sun with a good book (which I did this afternoon!).
