How to make it
- Preheat Oven to 325 F
- In a generous saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar, syrup, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon.
- Off the heat, add the milk, beaten eggs, and baking soda in it's water.
- Measure the flour out into a bowl and pour in the liquid ingredients, beating until well mixed (It will be a very liquid batter, also look for lumps!).
- Pour batter into the lined, greased pan and bake for 3/4-1 hour (depends on your baking pan's actual size and oven temperature variation). Be careful not to overcook it, as it is nicer a little stickier, and will carry on cooking as it cools.
- If you are making the icing:
- Whisk the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar first, then gradually add the water. You want a good thick icing, so go easy and be prepared not to add all the water. Spread over the cooled gingerbread with a palette knife, and leave to set before cutting.
