Derbyshire Gingerbread

A traditional Derbyshire gingerbread recipe, not too strong, and not too hard. Guaranteed to sell out at every market we do, so we are fairly sure it's a favourite recipe for most people.

We usually bring an army of gingerbread men and women with us to each market, but bears, ducks and snowmen do accompany them from time to time throughout the year.

We usually leave the shapes plain, with no decoration, as we do not want to use artificial colourings, but we can decorate them with chocolate piping if required.

Ingredients: Locally produce butter, locally produced plain flour, unrefined organic sugar, golden syrup, ground ginger, baking powder, egg.
