Susan! How could you? We were getting along so well! You're *trying* to wreck my diet, aren't you? Seriously, this sounds wonderful. And easy, so this should rate a 6 or 7, as far as I'm concerned. - Malory

Thanks for the farenheit directions. We yanks (at least THIS one!) don't do too well with those intricate calculations to convert centigrade. Sounds delish!

Love gingerbread, and this one sounds really good! What is treacle, if you please? I am not familiar with this word.

Hi juels,
Treacle in the UK is Molasses in the US!

I love gingerbread...why is it called Black Gingerbread...do you use blackstrap molasses?

sitbynellie 6 months ago said:
Hi conner, can I get back to you on this? I just posted an answer to your query but the site logged me out and it hasn't appeared. Suffice it to say I don't think it is blackstrap (there are apparently three different grades of molasses which I didn't know!) I will try to find out more and get back to you tomorrow!

Night night
