Ginger bread – mini recipe

Looking through old things, I came across a sheet of writing paper with my mum’s handwriting on it; she had written in pencil, on both sides and it was exceedingly faint but I could just make out a recipe on either side. There was Ginger bread (written as two words) and Custard tart…

She must have jotted them down in a real hurry because the instructions are minimalist to say the least!

Ginger bread

1. Saucepan – cup milk, ¼ marg, 2 tbs treacle or syrup
2. Heat not boil
3. Basin – 2 cup SR flour , 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tsp mixd spice, ½ tsp/ pinch bicarb
4. Mix well – add liquid from saucepan & beat
5. No 4 for 45 mins near bottom shelf

I’ll share the Custard tart recipe another time!
