Instructions: BEAUJOLAIS.

This recipe was a clear winner from a gingerbread tasting party. Serve the gingerbread warm and plain, or with lemon curd. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add molasses, corn syrup, egg, and salt, and beat until smooth. Mix together the flour and baking soda. Whisk in half the flour/baking soda mixture, then half the buttermilk, and repeat. Stir in the ginger until it is well-dispersed (remove any strings from the grated product).

Pour into an 8 inch square buttered pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with lemon curd or, perhaps, whipped cream. Sharron Solomon
