Tips & Tricks
Warm the honey slightly in a double boiler to make it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
Ensure the milk has a few drops of lemon to create a buttermilk-like consistency, which helps in achieving a tender texture.
Allow the gingerbread to cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar for a clean presentation.
FAQS
Can I use fresh ginger instead of ground ginger?
Ground ginger is recommended for this recipe as it evenly distributes the flavor. Fresh ginger may alter the texture and flavor balance.
What is the purpose of adding lemon to the milk?
The lemon creates a buttermilk-like consistency, which helps in tenderizing the batter and adding a slight tang to balance the sweetness.
Can I use a different type of pan if I don't have a bundt pan?
Yes, you can use a loaf pan or a square baking pan, but the baking time may vary slightly. Keep an eye on it and test with a toothpick.
How should I store the gingerbread?
Store the gingerbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Can I freeze the gingerbread?
Yes, you can freeze the gingerbread. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
